Sometimes a mistake might be a savior. Just one mistake and the man’s life got changed for the whole life. An Iowa man brought home a US$1 million lottery prize — after the clerk made a mistake printing his tickets.
Josh Buster, a 40-year-old chef from West Burlington, Iowa, asked for five “easy-pick” plays for the April 15 Mega Millions drawing at a local convenience store. However, Mr Buster revealed that the clerk accidentally printed just one play and then printed the four remaining plays on a separate ticket. The next day when Buster woke up and scanned the tickets, the-ticket-printing-mistake changed the numbers that he would have gotten if he had put them all on one instead of making that four accidentally.
He was able to match the first five numbers but did not get the mega Ball number.
“I feel like that changed the numbers that I would have gotten if he had put them all on one instead of making that mistake,” Buster said News release.
“I don’t usually have good luck, so I thought it was a mistake and there was going to be an error,” he said in the news release”, buster added.
“It will take away a lot of my stress in my life — no more of the financial worries,” he told the Iowa Lottery.
