Hmmm... I like that. An outrageous story... while skinny-dipping with sharks, Mr. X discovered he had won the lottery when his laminated lottery ticket floated out of his wallet...

And who among the church preachers say the lottery is gambling and evil? I don't think his family thinks it is evil! Congrats and I am glad he didn't say he would tithe on it since tithing in the Bible only was for crops and certain livestock, not money!

Well if cleaning brings one luck, I just cleaned my bathrooms...karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon

I can't think of a better person to win than Rev. Yurcus. Hospice is such a wonderful organization. I hope he has a wonderful retirement.

Congratulations - wonderful surprise for you and your family.

After reading this I decided to clean up a desk and a table. I found 2 scratch-offs. Worth $1 each. Finally, a system that works

We should all wait until we come up with the most outrageous stories, before we cash in.

It would be pathetically boring, to hear that someone won via the usual QP, playing birthday numbers, etc.

Nice story, if I ever win a large amount I plan on waiting until I've come up with an equally nice story before I cash in my ticket too.

Mr. Yurcus, was lucky enough to clean up his desk and found the winning ticket... He may have felt something from within that made him decide to check on lottery online. Luckily, he never threw up the tickets...just really a lucky man on the planet...

Retired chaplain cleans desk, finds $1 million winning lottery ticket

A retired hospice chaplain from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, was sitting on a $1 million winning lottery ticket for two months until two weeks ago when he decided to clean up his desk.

About 12 tickets had accumulated on my desk, and I decided to tidy up to make room for my new computer. I checked the winning numbers on the Illinois Lottery website and just about screamed when I saw that I won, said Ron Yurcus in a release from the Illinois Lottery issued the week.

Yurcus matched the first five
