Sounds like a higher power knew he intended to throw his ticket away, so they alerted him about a winning ticket in a news story.

If it's for you, you'll get it, somehow some way.

I was actually about to throw it away! he told the Missouri Lottery. And then I thought, 'Maybe I should check this one.'

However hard I try, for the life of me, I never understand people that don't check their lottery tickets. I just don't.

If I spend $2 and I win $2 am glad I broke even and will use that $2 to buy the next ticket.

I think we have people out there that don't care about the $2 win, they are all in for the jackpot and the jackpot alone.

Well, good for them.... [ More ]
