My wife is beingCharged w a 3rd degree felony for attempting to file a fraudulent ticket, unwittingly.

She did have a winning ticket. It was torn by our grandchild by accident and then the wrong piece was taped together and sent to the lottery commission under their guidance.An inspector showed up unexpectedly on Friday and said she would be filing for a third degree felony charge. My wife is in poor health and had an anuerism in 2008 which killed her during her surgery but they were able to repair it and bring her back. she has daily medication for this and other illnesses she has had. Incarceration will kill her. This was an accident, we do not care abou the money for the ticket, just want the charges dropped.
