A 75-year-old woman in Santa Ana was approached by two women claiming to have a winning lottery ticket. They tricked her into their car and drove her home, where they stole $45,000 in cash and jewelry. This scam specifically targets elderly individuals, exploiting their vulnerability and potential financial resources. The suspects fled in a gray Ford Escape. Police warn that such scams are common and emphasize the need for awareness among seniors.
