There’s one obvious takeaway from this story: Never listen to your girlfriend.
A guy from a suburb of Detroit was at a gas station with his girlfriend last week, and wanted to pop inside to buy a few lottery tickets. She told him not to, and gave him the standard talk about how he’d just be throwing his money away.
Well, he ignored her, and went inside and bought a couple of $5 scratchers anyway.
He won $1 MILLION.
He took the lump sum of $634,517, and he’s planning on investing most of it. But he’s also using some of it for a vacation. Clearly he’s a good guy — because he says he is planning to take his girlfriend on the trip.
