A man who forged a "winning" Powerball ticket -- not to try to win the lottery with it, but merely to prank unsuspecting co-workers -- has been sentenced to a year on probation for forgery.
The Pennsylvania man created the ticket for the multimillion-dollar lottery prize and planted it at the shipping company where he worked. Sure enough, some shmuck found the ticket and tried to cash it -- he was, at least, acquitted by a jury of "unsworn falsification." But the guy who created the ticket, as well as another that was also planted and apparently discarded, got a $2500 fine and a year's probation.
Good thing he didn't print bogus boarding passes -- then he'd really be in trouble.
