DAYTONA BEACH, FL ?- A man who won a lottery prize is now considered a thief by police officers in Daytona Beach.

Investigators say the lottery winner just couldn't get his cash fast enough.

The clerk gave the robber a nickel when the robber asked for a coin so he can scratch the lottery ticket, according to officials.

A clerk at a convenience store says when she opened her cash drawer to pay out the man's winning ticket, he helped himself by grabbing more money.

"When the clerk got ready to cash him out, she opened the cash drawer, he struggled with her and he reached in and grabbed less than 50 dollars and ran out of the store," said Daytona Beach Police spokesman Jimmie Flynt.

Surveillance video from inside the store captured the incident. A fairly clear shot of the man's face was released. Detectives hope the public will help find the man.

The robber is described as a white man in his 40s with a stocky build and reddish blond hair. He was last seen wearing a Columbia white fishing-type shirt with a University of Miami logo, a gold watch, blue jeans and dark shoes.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Sgt. Mark Eisner 386-671-5203.

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
