The saying “crime doesn’t pay” holds true in a literal sense with the recent incident of stolen Michigan Lottery tickets in Detroit.

Fox 2 Detroit and MLive have reported that two burglars targeted the lottery stand at City Liquor store located at the intersection of Grand River Avenue and Lahser Road in the early hours of Wednesday.

As of now, there is no information about their capture. However, their endeavors have become futile due to their failed attempt and the stolen items.

Ceiling break-in for … stolen Michigan Lottery tickets?

According to the surveillance footage, two individuals wearing masks and full attire entered the liquor store by descending through the ceiling around 5 a.m. on Wednesday. As soon as they entered, the second robber accidentally collided with one of the service counters, triggering the store’s alarm.

According to the video footage, the two individuals immediately headed towards the section housing Michigan Lottery tickets and swiftly began seizing as many stolen scratch-off tickets as they could hold.

After conducting a check of the empty cash registers, they proceeded to toss the tickets back up into the ceiling area from where they had initially fallen.

In an effort to identify the culprits, the police have distributed the video of the incident to specific local media outlets. If you possess any information regarding the crime, please reach out to the Detroit Police Department.

Lotto tickets become void once reported stolen

According to media reports, the manager of City Liquor contacted the Michigan Lottery to report the stolen tickets, highlighting another plotline of oversight. The lottery maintains records of inventory sent to licensed establishments, rendering the stolen stock of tickets useless.

Therefore, the tickets they possess are now nothing more than mere pieces of paper, unless they happened to be among the most adept actors at tearing them off quickly in the Upper Midwest.

For regular lottery players, there is a frustrating uncertainty surrounding the scratch-off display, as one can never be sure if any of those tickets could potentially hold a life-changing prize. This year, the Michigan Lottery has witnessed the creation of nearly 50 millionaires within the state, with a significant number of them being fortunate winners from instant games, such as these scratch-off tickets.

Regardless of the outcome of this case, there will be no winners.
