USPS worker just got caught stealing a winning lottery ticket out of the mail.
A woman in Tampa hit for $2,600 on Pick 4 and mailed the ticket to a relative in Fort Lauderdale to help cover funeral expenses.
The ticket never showed up.
Turns out a letter carrier named Lakaysha Lockhart grabbed it, walked into the lottery office, and cashed it herself.
She’s now facing multiple felony charges including grand theft and mail theft.
