Fiancée Took Lottery Tickets At Work And Cashed Them In

Card image cap

Location: New York, USA
My fiancée has worked as a janitor for 8 years at a grocery store chain in New York State and he’s been taking scratch of lottery tickets that people have bought and forgot to take them from the machines. Like he’s grabbed them from where the machine spits them out, then has scratched them and redeemed them for money there at the store.
Yesterday his manager and supervisor called him in to tell him that they know about it and they’re launching an investigation. They told him to not come to work today and just to come at 1pm to meet with them.
He told them that he usually checks for ones that have been scratched because people tend to leave them there once they lost. So he tosses them in the trash.
Again, they didn’t say anything other than they are investigating.
They didn’t say if someone saw him, someone reported it as a customer, or if they saw on security footage, so no idea how. But I know they have cameras directly on those machines.
I am wanting to know what could happen to him.

Update: Soooo thank you everyone who gave me their thoughts and support!!! My fiancée was given a final warning and still has his job. ???? I appreciate you all!
