I'm not going to get excited until I've got the prize in my hands, he said.

This was another happy-ending story , where a labor/custodian gets rich just on a hunch ....must have been a real hard choice to win $50.00 then say here spend it on another more expensive ticket ...he took a risk but it paid off big ....... obeying his hunch ....must have been his lucky day ; wish him and his wife the best ,...sounds like he wont be needing his mop anymore...
