Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

My daughter works at a convenient store which sales Ohio Lottery instant scratch off tickets, and while working (on the clock), she scratched off a small area of several tickets to see if they were winners, the total dollar amount of said tickets was somewhere around $250.00. If found guilty, what is the penalty? Do we need to hire an attorney?
