But the Frankenstein ticket was not fooling anyone as the failed fraudster forgot to check the serial numbers of the two different scratch-offs, law enforcement said.

“I don’t think this is gonna be a made-for-TV movie type of situation because, uh, it was clear to the lottery officials — and obviously clear to us — that she had taken two tickets with different, you know, one side had one serial number, the other side had the other serial number on it,” Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said.

Dakota? Well, appropriately named Dakota and girlfriend are not very bright. But ambitious. You gotta give ‘em that.

This is just lame. What a pair of morons, crudely fashioning a fake ticket out of two torn ones. And I bet a pre-schooler could have done a better job of patching the two together.

The lottery tickets have a bar code that is encoded with the value of the ticket. Instead of scratching off the number boxes all you have to do is scratch off the bar code location and see if you won anything.

There’s no way to fool that.
