When caught, he won a prize of 3100 yuan, and a man in Shanghai stole more than 500 "scratch music" tickets in one breath | locks | Shanghai
At 5am, a man named Zhang sat in a corner of a convenience store, scraping open hundreds of "scratch" lottery tickets in one breath, winning a total of 3100 yuan. But he cannot own these bonuses because these lottery tickets were stolen from the lottery store.
On July 12th this year, the Guangzhong Road Police Station of the Hongkou Public Security Bureau received a report from a lottery store in its jurisdiction, stating that over 500 "scrape and scrape" lottery tickets with denominations of 10 yuan and 20 yuan were stolen the night before, with a total value of about 5300 yuan.
The video footage inside the store shows that at around 4am that day, a man in white was wandering outside the store, looking around and seeing no one around. He broke open the circular lock at the store entrance and infiltrated the store. After entering the store, the man walked straight to the counter, took out all the "scratch lottery" tickets from the drawer and stacked them on the table, then ran away with these lottery tickets.

Public videos in the surrounding area also show that the man walked into a nearby convenience store with a stolen "scratch toy", scraped it open one by one, and immediately redeemed it on the self-service redemption machine. The next day, the man took the remaining winning lottery tickets to another lottery store for redemption, with a total redemption amount of 3100 yuan.
According to relevant clues, the police quickly identified the man's identity and arrested him at his place of residence. Originally, this was not Zhang's first time entering a lottery store to commit theft. According to his account, due to the lack of cash in the lottery store, some staff members have poor anti-theft awareness and use relatively basic locks, which to some extent provided convenience for his theft behavior.
According to the latest judicial interpretation, the prize money exchanged for stolen lottery tickets is also considered illegal gains and will directly affect sentencing. Therefore, winning the lottery, which is a fortunate event, is actually "unfortunate" for those who steal lottery tickets. At present, Zhang has been criminally detained in accordance with the law on suspicion of theft, and the case is under further investigation.
