Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. My name is Jamie too and I'm having a big problem. I’m in a lottery pool with some of my coworkers and there’s one person who’s in charge of collecting the money and buying the tickets. Last week, my friend who works at Macy's says she came into her store and bought a $2-thousand Gucci purse and told her she’d won the money in the lottery.

JamieWell, I think accusing your friend of stealing is a bit much....
