Check out this surveillance footage of 40-year-old Quodrayles Hunter of Decatur, playing the lottery game at a West Seventh Street E-Z Mart in Tifton.

"The reality, I don't scare from this stuff. Because if I scare, every day is going to be robbed here," said Sahib Singh, the owner or the store. "So I don't scare. I just keep the gun here and everything. "

Singh says this is the third time his store has been robbed since 2017. Hunter is facing theft by taking from a coin machine, and lottery fraud charges.
