Atmore Woman Charged With Using Grandparent’s Debit Card At Florida Lottery Retailer
August 18, 2025
An Atmore woman is facing felony charges after allegedly using her grandparents’ debit card to make hundreds of dollars in purchases from a Florida Lottery retailer just across the state line in Davisville.
Whitney Savannah McGhee, 25, was charged with fraudulent use of a debit card and grand theft from an individual over 65 years old, both felonies. The victim had reported the Regions debit card stolen to the Atmore Police Department.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, McGhee was captured on video surveillance using the debit card on July 3 for $241.88 at State Line Lotto on Highway 97 before returning to make another purchase for $242.98 on July 6 for a total of $484.82. The victim told Florida deputies that he had not given any permission for McGhee to use the debit card.
McGhee was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

I hope your grandparents can forgive you for what you have done. I hope that you have learned a lesson also from what you have done. You are still very young, please try to change your life. God is always with you, just ask for help.
Sad because the grandmother would probably give you the shirt off her back.
Shame on you, girl!!! Stealing from your own family when just being a thief in general is detrimental enough to ruin your life. Better turn that around quick! God is watching.
