Jean-David E, a resident of Toulouse, has made headlines after publicly appealing to two men who allegedly used his stolen credit card to purchase a jackpot-winning scratch card. Following the theft, which occurred on February 3, Jean-David discovered that his card had been utilized to spend €52.50 on cigarettes and several scratch cards at a local tabac. After hearing from the shop’s cashier about the incongruent behavior of the two suspected thieves, who claimed to have won a substantial prize, Jean-David contacted local authorities, prompting investigations into the incident. While authorities may seize the winnings, Jean-David is proposing a 50/50 split of the jackpot, believing it would prevent the prize from being forfeited entirely. His lawyer underscored that Jean-David has no intention of pressing charges under these circumstances, marking a rare moment of compassion amidst criminal activity.
