Florida man robs $7K worth of lottery scratch-offs from convenience store, goes back to redeem winners, feds say​

A Florida man stole $7,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets from a gas station convenience store, then returned to the very same location less than two hours later and attempted – unsuccessfully – to cash in his winners, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent.

After equally unsuccessful second and third tries, suspect Justin Farley, 43, instead used a replica handgun to rob a nearby 7-Eleven, making off with $120 and a pack of Newport cigarettes, the affidavit states.

Under questioning by police, Farley allegedly confessed, telling officers that he simply “needed money.”

Farley is now facing one count of interference with commerce by threat or violence, a federal charge under the Hobbs Act, which prohibits “robbery or extortion” affecting interstate trade. He was indicted by a Tampa grand jury while already in custody on state charges over the same robbery spree, and was charged federally on Tuesday, court records show.
