00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:03,My guy is a senior citizen living on a
government pension. Your guy works in a

00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:06,bar. Oh, right, he works in a bar, so
let's lock him up.

00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,Your guy turns out to be a convicted
confidence man.

00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:13,So I ** suing your department lady and
the lottery.

00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:18,You spent two million dollars in months? You always like to play. I wish

00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,could be arrested right now and locked
away forever.

00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,Are you trying to confess, sir?

00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:24,Would you like us to call your attorney?

00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:26,You let the suspect tip you down? We
both agree that he's innocent. Let's

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,so. Nice doggy. I g***t a bad s***t
somewhere.

00:02:33,869 --> 00:02:37,Oh, this is awful, Christine.

00:02:37,730 --> 00:02:41,It wasn't just the one charity. I had a
whole lot of other receipts in here.

00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,I told you not to do your own taxes.

00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:46,No wonder you're being ordered.

00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:47,Thank you, Christine.

00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:53,I never, ever do my own taxes. Well, you
usually have a man to them, but... Yes,

00:02:53,051 --> 00:02:54,Victor? You're getting ordered, huh?

00:02:54,830 --> 00:02:55,No kidding.

00:02:55,881 --> 00:02:57,No kidding.

00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:58,By the IRS?

00:02:58,561 --> 00:03:01,No, Victor, they're being audited by the
Department of Agriculture.

00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:02,Hey,

00:03:02,821 --> 00:03:04,Cagney, I g***t a question for you.

00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:08,If you could have any dog that you
wanted, what kind of dog would you pick?

00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:09,This is a trick question.

00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:12,No, really, the annual dog show at the
garden opens this week.

00:03:12,641 --> 00:03:16,It's just out of my mind. Victor, you've
never been interested in dog shows.

00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:19,Sometimes I'd like to do it. What is
this, one of those personality tests out

00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:20,your magazines?

00:03:20,770 --> 00:03:24,You ask me what kind of dog I like, and
I say, oh, a Doberman Pinscher. And

00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:27,you'll say, hey, guys, Cagney. Jagney
just said a Doberman feature.

00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:29,No, no, it's really just for me.

00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:30,Hey, call me.

00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:32,Jagney said Doberman feature.

00:03:38,990 --> 00:03:40,Anyway.

00:03:40,041 --> 00:03:42,What happened with your tax man?

00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:45,Oh, he g***t off probation. I moved to
South Carolina.

00:03:46,670 --> 00:03:47,Off probation?

00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:50,You had an ex -con doing your taxes?

00:03:50,171 --> 00:03:53,He was a very good worker, Christina. We
never g***t ordered it before.

00:03:53,710 --> 00:03:54,I was very worried.

00:03:54,761 --> 00:03:55,Peggy, Lacey.

00:03:55,870 --> 00:03:56,Good morning, sir.

00:03:56,850 --> 00:03:58,Huh? Good morning.

00:03:58,810 --> 00:03:59,Oh, yeah, good morning.

00:04:00,130 --> 00:04:03,Listen, you two are up. Just took a call
about a crime at the lottery office.

00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:05,I see Mrs.

00:04:05,291 --> 00:04:07,Burnside there. What kind of crime?

00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:10,She said she would explain to the
detectives when they get there.

00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:11,So get there.

00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:13,Yes, sir.

00:04:13,781 --> 00:04:17,Lotteries are held all over the country,
all over the world. Why does this have

00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:18,to happen to me?

00:04:18,950 --> 00:04:21,Bet the state lotteries never had this
problem.

00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:23,Now, what exactly is it that happened?

00:04:23,891 --> 00:04:30,particular lottery was drawn almost one
full year ago and two winners were paid

00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:35,already. Two million apiece. We put out
a news release that the time limit is

00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:41,almost up and now these two men are each
presenting winning tickets.

00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:44,So good for them, right? They both get
two million dollars.

00:04:44,970 --> 00:04:49,The problem is there were only three
winning tickets printed. One of those

00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:53,men out there is attempting to
perpetrate a fraud.

00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:12,So, then after Charlene died, I had to
sell everything, you know, to pay the

00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:14,doctors, and I moved into the projects.

00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:17,What a nice neighborhood.

00:05:17,371 --> 00:05:18,I see, sir.

00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:21,And you, uh, you purchased a ticket at
your local newsstand?

00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:22,Yeah, I must have.

00:05:22,821 --> 00:05:26,I mean, doesn't it say on the ticket,
isn't there a special code or something?

00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:29,Well, I don't know, but, uh, if there
is, we'll check on that, too.

00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:35,Now you say you g***t this ticket as a
gift?

00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:36,Oh, yeah, it's a funny story.

00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:41,See, this bar I work in, the glide -in,
gets sort of a mixed bunch.

00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:43,So this guy, his name is Tommy.

00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:47,He comes in a few months back. He has a
couple of belts.

00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:51,And then he reaches in his pocket to
give me a tip. Only thing, he's flat

00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:52,-busted, see?

00:05:52,850 --> 00:05:57,I see. Yeah, so all he had is this old
lottery ticket, all gummy and wrinkled

00:05:57,410 --> 00:06:02,up. Forgot he even had it. Then he gives
it to me as a tip, which I saw.

00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:05,So I g***t it framed and hung it over the
bar.

00:06:06,590 --> 00:06:09,The worst tip I ever g***t. Can you beat
that?

00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:14,Oh, it's good.

00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:15,Yeah.

00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:19,There's nothing wrong, is there,
officer? I do get the money, don't I?

00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:21,sir, when it do get paid.

00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:23,But we have to clear up a few things
first, all right?

00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:25,Okay.

00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:28,Now, you had this ticket all along, and
you didn't know it.

00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:31,It's lucky I never throw anything away.

00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:34,Hey, Tommy, do you remember his last
name?

00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,Listen, if you glide in and you ask a
guy his last name, he don't come back.

00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,Okay.

00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,No last name.

00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,And you missed the drawing on TV.

00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:49,I don't have a TV.

00:06:49,641 --> 00:06:52,There's one down at the senior center,
but I don't like to go down there after

00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,dark. Uh -huh. What about the newspaper?

00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,Well, I had to let my subscription run
out. It was too much money.

00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,And I don't have any friends or family
even to tell me.

00:07:01,661 --> 00:07:05,That is a winning number, isn't it?

00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,Oh, yes, sir. It's the right number.

00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:08,Oh, boy.

00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,You know, I always managed to get by,
you know, but, well, 40 years with the U

00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:17,.S. Postal Service, I always thought
that would be enough with my pension and

00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,all.

00:07:19,780 --> 00:07:20,Funny it sure isn't.

00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:27,Sir, um, forgive me for asking this, but
I was wondering, if you have so little

00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:31,money, sir, how is it that you can
afford to buy all these lottery tickets?

00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:36,Well, it's probably foolish, I know, but
no man's g***t to have a dream.

00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:40,Yes, sir.

00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:48,Oh, why does this have to happen to me?
I'm not a bad person.

00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:50,What did I do to deserve this?

00:07:50,231 --> 00:07:53,It'll work out, Mrs. Burnside. Now, let
me ask you something. Don't the tickets

00:07:53,570 --> 00:07:57,have a magnetic strip on them like a
credit card to prevent forgery?

00:07:57,211 --> 00:08:01,No, that was the old lottery. The new
ones just have the computer code number.

00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,That's why this is such a mess.

00:08:02,781 --> 00:08:06,Wait, wait. Why can't the two tickets be
verified on the computer?

00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:10,Because the computer dumped the coding
data. I beg your pardon? Dumped. Erased.

00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:12,Happened about ten months ago.

00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:16,819...
