A strange man's advice for 4 million dollars

A 54-year-old Genesee County woman won $4 million after a stranger who walked past her at a gas station advised her to buy a Michigan lottery ticket.

The woman, who asked not to be named, told local media, saying that she and her husband stopped to get fuel, “We entered the gas station to pay and while we were in line, a stranger came up to us and said you should buy a $30 lottery ticket, I bet you will win $4 million. The woman stated that she and her husband thought about it for a moment and then decided to buy the ticket, according to UBI.

Then the couple got out to their car, scratched the ticket and were astonished to see that they had won the exact amount the stranger had expected.

The woman said that she thought she had lost her mind, so she and her husband decided to put the ticket aside until we got home to make sure that what really happened had happened. “We decided to put the ticket away and look at it again when we got home to confirm what we were seeing.”

She doubted it until she and her husband went to the lottery headquarters to claim the prize, which in the end got her a one-time payment of about $2.5 million after taxes, instead of getting the 30 annual payments for the full amount, as US lottery laws allow.
