PORT ST. LUCIE - A Port St. Lucie woman won’t be keeping the 200 dollars she won from scratch-off lottery tickets.
That’s because police say Rose Webster, 39, stole the roll of scratch off tickets from the gas station where she works.
Authorities say Webster redeemed her winnings at another local convenience store and used the cash to buy a money order and cigarettes. Employees at that store were able to identify Webster through a photo lineup.
Detectives say she confessed to the crime and may have done it because she was upset her hours at work had been cut back.
Webster is charged with grand theft. She remains in St. Lucie County jail on $2,500 bail.
