Once victims transferred money to Gamble, either no tickets were sent or fake tickets were sent to them.

He created fake social media accounts, with men and women’s names, to sell the tickets.

Sentencing him, Judge Fowler, reduced his 20 month sentence to 15, due to early guilty pleas and mitigating circumstances.
