What a happy win, congratulations!

A question for those Michigan auto insurance broker licensee members reading, I'm curious about the costs to fix and reinstall the gas station's hand pump, hose, couplings, etc. What part of this car owner's automobile insurance policy would pay those claims

I've done that, not once, but twice. Except I didn't win a million dollars.

The gas station didn't charge me, how embarrassing. Especially the second time.

Whenever our brains experience extreme terror or extreme happiness, we temporarily lose track of time and space. That usually happens when the terror or joy is unexpected. At that particular moment a giant lion could have been walking toward this guy and he would not have noticed because everything was invisible except the lottery ticket. Gas pump? What gas pump? Congrats to him, I hope he spends it wisely.

Those new hoses have disconnects. They are actually designed to separate, and turn off the fuel pump. And, can easily be put back on with a few minor repairs. Probably, not too many fuel pumps have that feature.

The older pumps would just gush fuel out until someone hit the emergency stop button on the side of the building. Or the cashier pressed the stop button. The buttons are clearly marked on each side of the exterior, and in the cashier booth.

Congratulations on your nice win. Now when the gas station demands restitution you'll have no problem reimbursing them. Better than getting the next step...a lawsuit

A Michigan player was so excited when he found out he won $1 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket that he drove away from the gas station with the gas hose still attached to his car.

An anonymous player from Genesee County forgot to remove the gas hose before he victoriously drove off with a lottery ticket worth a million dollars.

The winner, 59, stopped at the Speedway gas station on Owen Road in Fenton to fill up his tank and went inside the convenience store to
