  Store Mistake Leads to NY Man Hitting $10M Jackpot

   

   

  DEPEW, N.Y. February 26, 2014 (AP)

   

  A convenience store clerk's mistake has paid off in a big way for a western New York man.

  Fifty-three-year-old Jerry Kajfasz (KYE'-fahzh) of Lancaster won a $10 million jackpot from a $20 scratch-off ticket he purchased last month at a suburban Buffalo store.

  He tells local media outlets he bought seven scratch-off tickets but the clerk nearly handed him an eighth one costing $20. Kajfasz caught the mistake and handed it back.

  After winning a total of $25 from the tickets, he went back inside the store and used the winnings to buy the same $20 scratch-off ticket the clerk had almost given to him by mistake.

  That Win for Life Spectacular ticket wound up being a winner with a guaranteed minimum jackpot of $10 million.

  Kajfasz has already quit his printing job.

  Karma is real. Good story Jani Norman. I am not sure if I could ever buy 1 $20 ticket leave alone 7 of them so this can never be my story. I am happy for Mr Kajfasz

  Good for him. Sounded like a more serious buyer purchasing 7 tickets at once.

  2018 Biggest Win: $500 (multiple times but who cares about $500 right?)

  All time Biggest Win: $4K ($5 Green & Gold)
