A Florida man lifted 13 different scratch-off lottery tickets from a convenience store while the clerk was distracted.
The Clearwater police were informed of the theft, but it didn't take long to nab the perp, as he was arrested later that very same day.
So much for being lucky at the lottery. Herbert McClellan stole 13 scratch-off tickets from a convenience store and immediately tried to see if any were winners. When one was a $30 winner, he went back to the same store to cash it in. Officers were called, and he's in jail now. pic.twitter.com/H8wiLgebJx

But just a few hours after robbing the location, McClellan ventured right back into the same store to cash in his winnings.
Employees called the police, who arrested McClellan for petty theft and dealing in stolen property, reports Fox 13.
McClellan stole $102 worth of scratch-offs. He is currently being held on $12,000 bond.
