Medford, OR (AHN) - Police say Christina Goodenow, 38, of White City in southern Oregon bought a lottery ticket worth $1-million with a stolen credit card. If convicted, Goodenow could end up with nothing.
Authorities say she faces numerous theft-related charges, forgery, and possession of methamphetamine. Officials say the card belonged to her mother-in-law, who died more than a year ago.
Oregon Lottery officials are not discussing specifics of the case because an investigation is still underway.
The $1-million grand prize is paid out over 20-years. Goodenow arrived at the Oregon Lottery headquarters in Salem to accept an installment payment of $33,500.
Detectives tracked Goodenow to her home on Wednesday after learning that she had used the credit card to purchase a number of items, including the ticket.
