He wants his wallet back, too.The thieves, meanwhile, face the risk of arrest.
What a difficult predicament to find yourself in as a crazy homeless person.
But you hit a ticket for $523,000… so now you have a task on your hands.
First you better locate the Francaise des Jeux (French lottery office).
Once you’re there, you have to fill out forms.
They’ll almost certainly require multiple official forms of identification.
Probably a social security number or something to go along with it.
They probably need a bank account as well.
Sure they’ll have to split the winnings with the man who’s credit card they stole.
But they have a real shot at walking away from this thing $100k richer.
I don’t know how likely that is, but it sure seems like something a government would do.
Claim that since the ticket was obtained by illegal means, nobody gets the money.
Not even the person who got the credit card stolen.
They void the ticket entirely and the lottery doesn’t have a pay out a dime.
Be smart crazy homeless guys.
For some reason, the French people are on your side.
They want to see you get something.
The ticket has been flagged.
Even with all the proper documentation, you won’t be able to cash it in.
You won’t be able to have a shady friend do it either.
Before long it’s going to expire.
