According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, a man asked the clerk for a pack of cigarettes and then pointed a gun at the employee when the clerk tried to hand him the merchandise.
Deputies said the thief ordered the clerk to empty the register and give him a roll of scratch-off lottery tickets.
Authorities said the robber stuffed his gun into the front of his pants, because he had his hands full with the bag of cash and lottery tickets.
