Some of the stolen money was used to buy lottery tickets, including the Cash 5 ticket worth more than US$1 million on Sept. 11, 2015. A Pennsylvania couple who helped steal more than US$175,000 from a grocery store where they worked used that money to buy a winning US$1 million lottery ticket from the same store, state police said. Four winners split the prize of US$1,047,618, with Lechleitner winning $261,904.50, state lottery officials said. The store’s owner installed hidden cameras in January that showed the suspects stealing the money and buying lottery tickets, police said. Online court records list James Conville as the defence attorney for Lechleitner and Titus, who was the store’s manager.
