Elderly Florida man goes to Walmart to claim $2.7k lottery ticket but reports he can’t redeem it. Then the security footage reveals what allegedly happened

A Walmart cashier in Florida was arrested after she allegedly hid a receipt that an elderly customer needed to claim his lottery winnings. The incident took place at a Walmart Neighborhood Market in DeLand, Florida, on a Sunday morning, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, cited by WKMG.

The customer had reportedly gone to the store to collect his winnings from a Florida Lottery ticket. Cashier Tameka Hall, 40, allegedly told him how he could redeem the prize. However, investigators said the man left the store without the receipt that was required to complete his claim. He did not realize the document was missing until several hours later, according to officials.
