Florida Couple Arrested for Faking $1M Lottery Ticket

Kira Enders and Dakota Jones face multiple charges after attempting to claim a forged lottery prize using altered tickets.

Kira Enders and Dakota Jones were arrested for attempting to trick Florida lottery officials with a spliced lottery ticket claiming a $1 million prize.
The couple allegedly taped together two torn scratch-off tickets, each with mismatched serial numbers, to create the appearance of a winning ticket.
Authorities were alerted during a follow-up visit when the couple was asked to verify the ticket, leading to their arrest on forgery and grand theft charges.
The fraudulent ticket was easily identified by lottery officials due to the obvious discrepancies in serial numbers and ticket halves.
Enders and Jones, who are both from Defuniak Springs, Florida, have been released on bond and are due in court on May 10.
