US lottery winner cheated by Nepali store clerk to receive $395k
Nepalnews, 18-Feb-2010

A US district judge has ruled that nearly $400,000 seized from the accounts of the Nepali man who stole a Texas maintenance worker's lottery ticket must be handed to the scammed jackpot winner, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

Authorities are searching for the Nepali convenience store clerk who they believe stole the ticket from Willis when he asked for confirmation that he had won $1 million.

Pankaj Joshi is believed to have fled to his native Nepal after receiving a check for $750,000.

Austin police and the Travis County Attorney's Office have seized or frozen about $395,000 from Joshi's accounts and gifts to his relatives in the US, according to the report.

On Tuesday the judge ordered those funds to be given to Willis, who says he wants to pay off medical bills, pay his daughter's college tuition and buy new golf clubs.
