Man robbed after winning lottery

Lake Worth Man wins lottery, then immediately gets robbed in Palm Springs parking lot

"A man from Lake Worth was assaulted and robbed in a parking lot shortly after discovering he had a winning lottery ticket.

The Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) said on November 17, just before noon in the rear parking lot of Laundry Time at 4360 Lake Worth Road, a 58-year-old victim had bought two scratch-off tickets from La Bodega, a nearby store, and realized one was a winner.

After claiming his winnings, the victim walked back through the same parking lot when he was attacked by a man — later identified as 24-year-old Christian Nasir Nelloms — described as tall, athletic, and wearing a yellow hoodie.

Nelloms allegedly punched the victim several times, pushed him to the ground, and stole a 14K gold Cuban link chain valued at $1,000 and a matching bracelet worth about $1,200, according to the police report.

Police obtained surveillance footage showing the suspect waiting behind the business before the attack. Using facial recognition, investigators identified Nelloms, a Riviera Beach resident. Nelloms was later picked out of a photo lineup by the victim and was arrested for robbery, a second-degree felony."
