LAKEVILLE — An arrest warrant has been issued for a 23-year-old Lakeville woman who failed to show up for court June 14 on charges related to an alleged theft of a $3 million winning lottery ticket.

Carly Nunes was indicted on one count each of larceny from a building, attempted larceny, presentation of a false claim, and witness intimidation in regards to an incident in January at the former Savas Liquors on Bedford Street in Lakeville. 

Nunes was scheduled to be arraigned in Brockton Superior Court but defaulted, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz.

A second person indicted in connection with the incident, Joseph Reddem, 32, of Randolph, pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted extortion at his arraignment June 12. He was released on personal recognizance with conditions that Reddem does not gamble or have any contact with Nunes or witnesses in the case.

Reddem is next scheduled to appear in court on July 28. 

The charges against Nunes and Reddem stem from an incident on Jan. 17 at the former Savas Liquors.

On that date, a male victim entered the store and purchased a bag of barbecue potato chips, two Massachusetts State Lottery Quick Picks for the Mega Millions lottery, and two for the Mass Cash lottery. Cruz said.The man added a multiplier to his Mega Millions ticket to increase the jackpot prize.

Nunes, the checkout counter clerk, placed the order into the lottery terminal, and printed two lottery tickets. Nunes returned to the cash register and rang up the man’s order, totaling $12, Cruz said.

The man left the store and drove home with the bag of potato chips, but left his lottery tickets behind in the terminal tray. That evening, Cruz reported, the man’s identical Mass Millions ticket numbers were announced as the winning numbers, earning a $3 million prize. 

After leaving the store and realizing he no longer had his tickets, the man briefly searched for them but concluded that they were lost. Approximately 45 minutes after the man left the store, another patron entered to buy five lottery tickets. 

Nunes rang up the transaction and printed the lottery tickets. It is at this point, the patron realized two extra tickets had been printed, and gave the extra two belonging to the victim back to Nunes. Nunes took the tickets and said they must have belonged to “him,” meaning the victim. 

On Jan. 19, Reddem, Nunes’ co-worker, drove her and her boyfriend to the lottery headquarters in Dorchester to redeem the $3 million ticket, according to Cruz, which at that time was torn and appeared to be burned.

A state Lottery customer service representative scanned the ticket and determined the worth to be three million dollars, Cruz said. 

Nunes and Reddem are later seen on Lottery surveillance video arguing in the lobby. Reddem allegedly made demands of the jackpot and Nunes informed Reddem that she would “only pay him $200,000,’’ Cruz said.

State Lottery officials overheard the argument, which, along with the state of the ticket, led lottery investigators to interview Nunes. She claimed she purchased the ticket at the end of her shift on Jan. 17.

Lottery officials and State Police investigated and surveillance video confirmed that the male victim, not Nunes, purchased the winning ticket, Cruz said.

The true owner of the ticket was found on Feb. 13. He will receive his $3 million prize from the Massachusetts State Lottery.
