USPS worker charged after stealing and cashing Florida lottery ticket

A U.S. Postal Service letter carrier in Florida was arrested for allegedly stealing a winning Pick-4 lottery ticket mailed to a player and redeeming it for $2,600. The ticket reportedly never reached its destination, and the employee, Lakaysha Lockhart, admitted to stealing and cashing the prize. She faces charges including 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, with investigations by the Florida Lottery and USPS OIG.
