So, they`re putting people in prison now because someone handed them $1000 and they didn`t give it back? From what I saw in the video, I never heard the clerk say that no, they were not winners. The "Private Investigator" was in such a hurry to hand off the tickets and leave, the clerk would have likely had to go chasing after them to give them the $1000. They work at a gas station, that`s probably a full month`s pay right there.

^yeah, I agree. It`s basically entrapment. Of course they should have handed them back or spoken up but these people are making minimum wage. That`s like handing a cheesburger to a Sudanese child and telling him to give it back untouched. Some dirty tactics by dateline.

Yeah this is pretty lame. Honestly, if you aren`t smart enough to realize your ticket is a winner, especially something over say $100, then why the eff are you even buying them?

I can see where the clerks were wrong, but as folks have already pointed out, that`s a lot of money to them. At least they didn`t go mug someone and murder them for what was in their wallet.

If the system isn`t designed to depend on integrity, then design it otherwise. I refer the lottery folks to BeagleBoy360`s comment.

I don`t know about you guys, but if I see Chris Hanson meeting anyone, I`m going to assume they`re a child molester.

WTF? they should`ve done the investigation on the owners/employees from the actual stores that win all the time. those people got caught were dishonest and tempted by greed, but this show made them looked more like victims than criminals. the money was presented to them in such a way that it was difficult not to get tempted. it`s basically a trap. as someone has already mentioned, it was a lot of money to these people working at minimum wage. only 6 stores out of all the stores they set out to trap shows that there are still many honest people out there. 360SNaKe is right, Dateline is running out of ideas...and Chris Hanson is the biggest douche. good for the state of NY for not letting Dateline has its way.
