A United States Postal Service employee was arrested last week for allegedly stealing a winning Pick 4 Florida lottery ticket that was sent through the mail and claiming the prize, according to the state’s lottery.
The Florida Lottery Division of Security and the U.S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector General launched a joint investigation after a Florida Lottery player reported that a winning ticket she had sent through the mail never reached its intended destination, the Florida Lottery said in a statement Friday.
Investigators learned the ticket was redeemed on July 19 at a Florida Lottery office in Miami by Lakaysha Lockhart, who was later identified as a U.S. Postal Service letter carrier, officials said.

Maybe if rural carriers had to work 8 hours instead of
2 they would have less time to steal???
Inspect all the rural routes like city, watch the savings???
This is what radicals in labor have wrought. Hiring now is a beauty contest, with the ultimate goal of righting some past wrong. This individual had to have a checkered past or some type of record. It’s hard to fathom someone just out of the blue stealing like this on top of the total stupidity to think they wouldn’t get caught, but this is what these people are sending us. Things like this are driving volume down, influencing Americans to avoid the mail. Everyone anymore has a story of lost or stolen mail and between this and workman’s comp fraud, the inspection service is overwhelmed.
Most everything you said is correct except that the Inspection Service does not investigate Internal Mail Theft by employees or workman’s comp fraud since 2007, the Postal Office of Inspector General is responsible for those investigations.
Thank you, I stand corrected. The OIG is then overwhelmed.
