Bookkeeper Embezzles $2.3 Million to Buy Lottery Tickets

The White Collar Crime Prof Blog recently shared the story of Annie Donnelly who entered a guilty plea to embezzling $2.3 million from her employer, a medical practice, to buy lottery tickets over the past three years.  WCCPB reports that Donnelly was buying upwards of $6,000 worth of tickets a day, but questions why she even bothered when stealing $2.3 million without being noticed is pretty much the same thing as winning the lottery??!! : - )
