A Santa Ana resident has lost $45,000 in a lottery ticket scam. The scam occurred on March 19 near the intersection of Raitt Street and McFadden Avenue. The suspects allegedly tricked the victim into believing they had won a $2.7 million lottery ticket, but couldn't cash it due to their immigration status. They then fled with the money and jewelry. This is part of a longstanding scam that involves convincing victims to provide valuables under the false promise of sharing their winnings.
