Allen Nguyen, pictured, allegedly stole $70 worth of Florida scratch-off lottery tickets from a Winter Haven Circle K store and was busted when he returned to the same store to cash in a winner.
The Polk County Sheriff’s office says one of the stolen tickets was worth $50 and when Nguyen returned to collect his prize, the clerk recognized him from a surveillance video and asked to see his driver’s license. She wrote down his information and called authorities.
Nguyen, 22, is charged with petit theft.
Lady Luck may have been on Nguyen’s side. But as they say, you just can’t fix stupid.
