Circle K clerk and store clash over $12.8M lottery ticket left by customer
A legal dispute has erupted over a $12.8 million winning lottery ticket that a customer left behind at an Arizona Circle K store on November 24, 2025. Store clerk Robert Gawlitza purchased the abandoned tickets, later discovering one was a jackpot winner. Circle K filed a complaint against Gawlitza in February, alleging he wrongfully attempted to claim the prize. Gawlitza, however, contends that he was simply following company policy when he bought the unclaimed tickets. The case raises questions about ownership rights over lottery tickets left behind at retail stores.
