Robert Gawlitza, who managed a Circle K store in Scottsdale, Arizona, is embroiled in a legal battle over a winning lottery ticket worth $12.8 million. After 20 years with the company, he was fired, leading to a dispute regarding the ticket's ownership.
Gawlitza asserts that he was acting in accordance with company policy when he purchased the ticket, which has now become the center of a contentious legal issue with his former employer.
The outcome of this case could have significant implications for both Gawlitza and Circle K, as it raises questions about employee rights and company policies regarding lottery ticket purchases.
