The man, who requested to remain anonymous, was shopping at a Jewel-Osco in Addison when he decided to pick up a lottery ticket on his way out.
“It was a normal day, just like any other. I was picking up groceries at Jewel and on my way out the door, I decided to buy a lottery ticket,” he explained.
However, his plan hit a snag.
“I actually wanted to buy a ticket for a different game and the machine got stuck on Lotto. I was a bit frustrated. I said, ‘What is going on? The machine won’t give me the right game!’ So I decided I may as well buy the Lotto ticket,” he recalled.
Little did he know, that decision would change his life forever.
“The morning after the drawing, I scanned the ticket at a machine to check if it was a winner. When the machine showed the $9.2 million prize amount, I couldn’t believe it!” he shared. “I looked at my wife and she was completely speechless. We are laughing over how angry I was at the broken machine – and we’re so grateful for how it all turned out.”
This unexpected turn of events shows that sometimes a frustrating moment can be a blessing in disguise.
