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. "Our players deserve confidence that every Lottery prize is protected through strong security measures and diligent oversight," Reginald D. Dixon, secretary of the Florida Lottery, said. Lockhart is being charged with grand theft, dealing in stolen property, filing a false claim for payment, two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device and mail theft, Florida Lottery said.
