Stupid Criminals: Two Idiot Roommates Got Busted for Lottery Fraud

Here’s a “Stupid Criminal Story” to make you feel a little better about yourself. A guy in Iowa had his roommate cash his winning $30,000 lottery ticket, so a portion of it wouldn’t get seized to pay off his debts ($919 in unpaid fines to the city). But when she didn’t give him his full share, an argument ensued, cops were called, and like idiots, they revealed the whole scam to the cops. The guy accused his roommate of “fraud” (and he was right), but he failed to realize that he ALSO committed fraud, specifically, lottery fraud. Both of them are now facing felony charges.
