Man Arrested After Allegedly Stealing Roommate’s $10 Million Winning Lottery Ticket
January 8, 2019 at 9:50 pm
VACAVILLE (CBS13) — The rightful owner of a $10 million winning lottery ticket is in limbo after the man claiming to be the ticket’s owner says his roommate stole it and tried to cash it in.
But police say the real ticket may have been stolen.
The Vacaville man says that on December 20, he bought the $30 scratcher lottery ticket from a grocery store on Peabody Road in Vacaville. It turned out to be a $10,000 winner, he thought. Excited about his good fortune, he went home and told his roommates, according to a statement from the Vacaville Police Department.

The next day, the man went to the lottery’s district office in Sacramento to collect his winnings only to find his ticket, which wasn’t a winner, had been altered to resemble the actual winning ticket, say police. Suspecting one of his roommates stole the real ticket and swapped it with the doctored one, he called police.
One day later, roommate 35-year-old Adul Saosongyang went to the lottery office and used the real winning ticket to try to claim the winnings. It was then that the ticket’s $10 million value was discovered.
