Wolcott man arrested after being accused of stealing over $9,000 in lottery tickets

WOLCOTT, N.Y. — A 67-year-old man from Wolcott has been arrested after a New York State Police investigation into lottery theft.

On Sept. 27, state police say David Miller was working at the Wolcott Elks Lodge when he generated $9,498 worth of New York State Quick Draw lottery tickets over several hours using the bar’s electronic terminal, and didn’t pay.

State police say while the tickets resulted in about $4,164 in winnings, the remaining $5,334 wasn’t paid. As a result, Miller was arrested and charged Friday with grand larceny.
