Words cannot describe how moronic the two men are for trying to get away with this!

How on Earth did they think the lottery would assume it was a winning ticket just because the two numbers matched??

Haven't the two MORONS ever seen a barcode before??

How have these two guys managed to survive into their 40's with brains like theirs???

(CNN) — Two men in Mississippi were arrested for allegedly attempting to pass off a lottery ticket that had been altered to show the winning numbers, authorities said.

Odis Latham and Russell Sparks visited the Mississippi Lottery Corporation headquarters in Flowood on Monday with a lottery ticket purportedly worth $100,000, Flowood Police said in a statement. The ticket had been signed and was presented to the commission for payment, the police statement said.

Lottery officials contacted police and reported the ticket was fake.

Police took the suspects into custody. The ticket had been altered, with the winning numbers glued to it to match the prize, police said.

Meg Annison, spokeswoman for the Mississippi Lottery, confirmed that two men visited the lottery headquarters and attempted to pass off an altered ticket, but declined to comment further. The lottery requires prizes over $100,000 be claimed at its headquarters.

Both men were charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and presenting a forged document over $1,000. Latham was additionally charged with providing false ID information.
