lightning! In the US state of Michigan, 54-year-old Michael Vander Lugt went into a store to buy a soda, then it turned out he didn't have enough cash. He didn't pay with a card, but handed the cashier some Powerball lottery tickets from his wallet: as I recall, they had at least a few dollars each. The cashier scanned the tickets, and one of them issued a message: To claim your winnings, contact the lottery office. This card stayed in my wallet for almost two months and won a million dollars. Now Vander Lugt is going to close the mortgage and invest the rest. "I can't believe I had a million dollar bill in my wallet for almost two months and I didn't even know it," he says.
