An Oregon lottery winner could end up losing, after it was alleged that she purchased the winning ticket with a stolen credit card.
Christina Goodenow, 38, of White City in southern Oregon faced numerous theft-related charges, forgery and possession of methamphetamine, said authorities, who searched her home Thursday. The card belonged to a deceased relative, they said.
If convicted of any of the charges, Goodenow will not be able to collect prize money from the winning ticket, said police Lt. Tim George.
I can’t believe they let people purchase lottery tickets with a credit card. Maybe they are the ones that should be in jail.
