The driver’s side rear passenger requested five Gold Rush Legacy lottery tickets valued at a total of $100, according to authorities. The police department says the passenger gave the store a $100 bill folded up as they were handed the tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators say the store quickly noticed the counterfeit bill and as they attempted to confront the passenger, the car drove away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the suspects is described as a white man with dark facial hair, prescription glasses, and tattoos on both arms and hands. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with blue shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver is described as a white woman with dark hair and sunglasses on top of her head. She was smoking a cigarette and was last seen wearing a black tank top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say the front passenger is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
