HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island deli owner and his son were charged Saturday with scamming a customer out of a $1 million lottery ticket.
Nassau County police said a 34-year-old man who doesn't speak English bought the ticket Thursday at the Peninsula Deli & Grocery in Hempstead.
The man scratched off his card, saw that he was a winner and handed it to Karim Jaghab, 26, to get his winnings, police said.
The ticket was worth $1 million, but Jaghab gave the man $1,000 in cash and kept the ticket, police said.
The customer became suspicious and went back Friday, police said. They say Jaghab and his 57-year-old father, Nabil Jaghab, the owner of the deli, tried to give him $10,000 and told him not to go to the police, authorities said.
The customer went to police, who determined that he had won the $1 million jackpot.
The Jaghabs, of East Meadow, were arraigned Saturday on grand larceny charges. Each was ordered held on $7,500 bond. According to Newsday, their attorney said it was a simple mistake on a payout on a lottery machine.
A similar case unfolded in Suffolk County this year when two Riverhead gas station clerks and the brother of one of the clerks were charged with scamming a customer out of a $74,892 prize.
In that case, police said the clerks gave the man $774 in cash. As with the Nassau case, the victim was an immigrant who speaks no English.
In another case in Syracuse, two brothers who claimed a $5 million lottery ticket sold at their family's store were charged with scamming the winning ticket from a customer in 2006. One brother was sentenced this year to up to 25 years in prison for possessing the stolen ticket; both brothers were acquitted of conspiracy charges.

The college football season has seen plenty of lopsided scorelines, but North Carolina raised the bar Saturday. The Tar Heels bludgeoned visiting Old Dominion at Kenan Stadium, scoring four touchdowns in both the second and third quarters to jump to a 80-20 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Monarchs only trailed by a single point after 15 minutes, 14-13, but North Carolina created an insurmountable gap, scoring 42 unanswered points. A 63-yard T.J. Logan rushing TD and a 64-yard Ryan Switzer fumble recovery for a touchdown vaulted the Tar Heels past 70 points on the day. Before the fourth quarter began, both teams agreed to end the game five minutes early.
