Worst Roommate Ever Accused Of Stealing His Roommate's $10 Million Winning Lottery Ticket
Back on December 20th, a Vacaville shopper went to the Lucky Grocery Store on Peabody Rd to purchase a $30 Scratcher Lottery Ticket with hopes of winning a little extra cash for the holidays. The ticket turned out to be a winner – and he thought it was worth $10,000. He returned home and shared this wonderful news with his 2 roommates.
The next morning he went to the Lottery’s District Office in Sacramento to collect his winnings, but was told his ticket was not only, not a winner, but had been altered. He suspected one of his roommates must have stolen his winning ticket while he was sleeping and immediately reported the theft to the police department. The next day his suspicions were proven true when his 35-year-old roommate, Adul Saosongyang attempted to cash in the winning ticket at the Lottery’s Sacramento District Office. Adul was told his winning ticket was not worth $10,000 dollars, but was actually worth $10 million dollars!
At this point, the Lottery was unaware this ticket had been reported stolen and began their administrative investigation that is done on all winnings over $600. When the Lottery Investigator went to Lucky in Vacaville to obtain video surveillance footage of the original purchase they were told the ticket might be stolen. This is when the Lottery Investigator and a Vacaville PD Detective began comparing notes and working together on this theft investigation. They determined the roommate had purchased a similar Scratcher Lottery Ticket, altered it, and swapped it with the winning ticket.
On Monday, January 7th, the Lottery Investigator invited Adul to the Lottery’s Sacramento District Office to collect his winnings, but instead of him celebrating his big win he was arrested by Vacaville PD Detectives who had obtained an arrest warrant for him for Grand Theft.
“And THAT’s why you don’t tell your roommates that you won a shitload of money in the lottery before you cash in the ticket”
Look, when you live with roommates, you are inevitably going to have something you hate about them. Maybe someone doesn’t clean their dishes, plays their shitty music too loud, or steals a multi-million dollar lottery ticket that changes you from being a poor living with roommates to a millionaire the minute you turn your back. That’s how roommate life is. All your bills get split up in exchange for some slight-to-major life changing inconveniences. Which is why I don’t blame Adul for trying to get away with the perfect crime. He’s just the product of being a material boy in a material world. In fact, I blame Adul’s roommate for this entire situation because he was dumb enough to tell multiple people that he had a winning lottery ticket that was worth anything more than $5. If When I win the lottery, I am not telling a soul until that oversized check has been printed out, handed to me, and the direct deposit has hit. That includes my mom, my friends, and my roommate (wife). Loose lips sink ships or in this case keep me locked in the lower middle class or upper poor class, depending on where the cutoff line is. Why you would ever tell people you essentially have millions of dollars in cash that would be very hard to trace back to you if stolen is beyond me.
In fact once that last Cherry is revealed on the scratch off, I am dropping everything I am doing and driving directly to the closest lottery office. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 because that’s chump change now that I’m a millionaire. That ticket does not leave my sight until I hand it over to the person I am absolutely CERTAIN works for the lottery. I’m not saying the person who had this ticket stolen from them doesn’t deserve the money, but he 10000000% doesn’t deserve the money. In fact, Adul deserves the money than his fucking idiot roommate does. Playing lottery starts when you buy the ticket and doesn’t end until you cash it in. Anything that happens in between is all in the game.
