Sometimes things are meant to be. Especially when someone convinces you to buy a Lottery ticket and you win.
That happened here in Michigan when a clerk at a store in Three Rivers talked a guy from St. Joseph County to buy a specific type of scratch-off ticket, "I stopped to pick up a few things and went by the Lottery counter while I was there. As I was standing there, the clerk suggested I play the Mystery Prize Cashword game."
It paid off big time, "I told her I don't play often, and I wasn't too sure about that type of ticket. She told me they were pretty simple to play and had been lucky lately, so I decided to buy two. The first one turned out to be a $300,000 winner." This happened at the Hoffman Street Grocery. UPI
