The suspect indicated she was an illegal immigrant and could not legitimately cash the ticket. A man joined the two women and the victim and the man agreed to help cash the lottery ticket. They called a number provided on the ticket and a lottery representative advised them it was a winning ticket for several hundred thousand dollars but they would have to present Canadian "assets" of several thousand dollars prior to receiving the prize. The woman didn't have the assets. The man and the victim agreed to give her some money for a share of the winnings. The man left and returned with an envelope with "thousands of dollars in it." The victim went to her bank and obtained a large amount of cash, which she turned over to the woman, but she was still short of the necessary figure so went elsewhere to get more money. When she returned, the woman and man where both gone. The woman is described as 60 years old with curly, brown, shoulder-length hair, Spanish speaking and possibly Mexican. The man was short, 35, with a round face. He had a strong accent, which he claimed was Greek, but he may have been Mexican as well.

She later complained that while she was under arrest someone broke into her parents' home, which she had been house-sitting, and stole a 50-inch plasma TV. She believes it was her drug dealer as she had called him just prior to her arrest to deliver drugs to her. It was likely taken to pay the complainant's debt. The complainant does not want to lay charges, just get the TV back.
