He had a bunch of winning tickets and sent his son into a gas station to cash them out and get more tickets. He was apparently waiting for him in the parking lot. One of the new tickets supposedly won a $5 million prize.
I'm guessing what got him was that when there's any kind of big prize they typically go to security camera footage to make sure that the person who cashed it in bought it. It's not an absolute requirement (I think they're worried about stolen tickets), but if it's an underage buyer they certainly reserve the right to deny a payout on the basis of an illegal sale.
