Officer Unable To Accept $1,00
HOLLY HILL, Fla. -- Imagine if someone handed you a winning lottery ticket worth $1,000, but you couldn't spend it. That's exactly what happened to a Holly Hill police officer. A mystery woman handed the officer the ticket.
Investigator Chris Yates got a bittersweet holiday surprise as he worked an extra shift at a Holly Hill Publix. A stranger handed him an envelope.
"Stuffed a folded up envelope into my left hand and said, 'Merry Christmas,' and walked away from me," Yates explained.
It turned out, in that envelope was a winning scratch off ticket worth $1,000. It took Yates a few seconds to soak it all in. Then he realized, he had to give it back.
"No matter if it's $5 or $1 million, I cannot accept anything," he said.
Yates tracked down the woman, who would not give him her name. He said it was clear she wasn't taking it back.
"She said, 'If you can't accept it, give it to someone who can,'" Yates said.
