Warren Little/Getty ImagesLeslie Underwood and Mandy Vanhouten were best friends and waitresses in Arkansas at a burger joint. Their boss gave them some scratch tickets and told them to split the winnings if they won as a bonus. Leslie and Mandy split the tickets and started scratching. Mandy Vanhouton scratched an instant ticket for $300,000 and they were going to split it. Vanhouton then posted a picture of her holding a giant lottery check for $300,000 and has not answered her phone or showed up at work ever since. Leslie says she would like to take legal action, but I don't know if she has any leg to stand on because Mandy was the only one to sign the back of the ticket.
