MAN BUYS WRONG LOTTERY TICKET, WINS $30,000

A man in southwestern Connecticut who mistakenly bought the wrong lottery ticket is $30,000 wealthier. Bob Sabo, of Easton, says he didn’t want to wait in line to buy a lottery ticket at the Super Stop & Shop in Fairfield, so he decided to buy a ticket from a lottery vending machine – something he had previously never done. Sabo says he meant to buy two $20 tickets, but says he didn’t have his glasses on and instead bought a $30 ticket. When he got home, he discovered the ticket was a winner.
* Thanks for rubbing it in with the whole “he didn’t mean to do it” angle.
* Nice but 30 grand isn’t going to do it.
* Well, heck, I guess he can buy half of a nice truck.
* On top of everything else, instead of spending $40, he only spent $30.
* So the key to winning the lottery is to have no idea what you’re doing.
* Later it turned out he didn’t have his glasses on and it was actually 300 million.
* People are waiting inline to buy lottery tickets? Gee, desperate much?
* I only do that if it gets about 200 million. Anything less than that and it’s not worth my time.
