Circle K Employee Fights Store Over $12.8 Million Lottery Ticket Win
The attorney for a former Circle K store manager claims his client was wrongfully terminated after following company policy regarding unsold lottery tickets. The manager purchased $25 worth of unclaimed tickets from a customer, one of which turned out to be a $12.8 million jackpot winner. Despite believing he was adhering to an unwritten company practice and consulting with his supervisor, the manager was fired for policy violation. He is now seeking to clear his name, while the lottery winnings are held pending the outcome of a lawsuit.
