Walmart Employee Allegedly Tried to Lowball $300 Lottery Winner With $5 Offer

A hopeful comedian from Kansas City, Missouri, was taken aback when he discovered he had won $300 on a scratch-off lottery ticket. When he approached a Walmart to claim his winnings, an employee incorrectly offered him just $5. In a viral video, the individual, known as Darius So Hilarious on social media, grows increasingly frustrated as the associate indiscriminately places the winning ticket into a drawer. “You can’t win $5 on a $30 lottery ticket!” Darius protested, insisting on the return of his ticket. The employee, blaming the machine, hesitated, stating his reluctance to jeopardize his job. Amid escalating tensions, Darius threatened to involve law enforcement. After a supervisor reviewed the ticket, the employee re-scanned it, revealing the true amount. Darius's demand for his winnings was met with criticism regarding his behavior. The incident has sparked widespread discussion online, with many recanting similar experiences of lottery scamming, highlighting the importance of vigilance while claiming winnings. (Photo: Instagram)
