LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) – A North Andover convenience store clerk pleaded innocent Wednesday to cashing in a customer’s winning lottery ticket.

Prosecutors say Patrick Simboli told customer Elizabeth Geladeres, of Raymond, N.H., that she’d won $2 on a “Cash Winfall” ticket purchased at his store on May 9. In fact, the ticket was worth $32,000, after taxes.

Police say he kept the ticket and claimed the prize. The Massachusetts Lottery Commission has confirmed that Simboli cashed in the winning ticket.

He was arraigned in Lawrence District Court on charges of larceny and receiving stolen property. If convicted, he could get up to five years in prison on each charge.

Simboli was expected back in court in September.
