Kiara Anne Wickey, 24, defended six charges at trial in Wagga District Court last week.
Wickey was charged with five counts of dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and one count of receiving property of a victim of a break and enter.
According to documents tendered to the court, the spree started on May 30 last year when Wickey purchased $30 worth of scratchies from Glenfield Park’s Southcity Newsagency.
Wickey also used the card to purchase a new phone, credit and several other items, racking up a total bill of $484.
Other victims included a Wagga Caltex and the United Chain Centre at Tolland.
She was sentenced to a fixed term of six months’ imprisonment but immediately released, having already served the term in custody awaiting trial. She will remain on parole for another four months.
