Florida police arrested a man this week for attempting to cash in a winning scratch-off ticket at the same convenience store he stole it from,authorities alleged. The Clearwater Police Department said in an August 20 statement that the man was identified as 27-year-old Herbert McClellan.
According to police, McClellan "stole 13 scratch-off tickets from the Speedway convenience store at 32 Bay Esplanade. When he found out that one was a winner, he went back to the same store to cash it in."
The store workers immediately called police and McClellan was arrested, police said. The lottery ticket was only worth $30.
McClellan was charged with petit theft and dealing in stolen property, according to the statement.
"It's safe to say it was not his lucky day," police said.

This is pretty funny, but also pitiful.
