Absolutely true story:
A buddy at work had a wife that played the same numbers every week in the AZ Lottery. After a few months, the prize was up to 14 million. She went to the grocery store and bought some food but when she looked at the line at customer service, it was like 20 people long. She blew it off.
When she got home, she noticed on the receipt that they had charged her $20 for a $2 item. So she went back to the store. The line at customer service was still long so she went to the checker and got her refund. By now, the customer service line was even longer so she headed home.
At 1005 pm, my buddy who is asleep in the next hotel room gets a call and its his wife screaming, "OUR NUMBERS HIT! OUR NUMBERS HIT!!!" Still asleep, Rich asks, "How much was the prize?" "FOURTEEN MILLION" she yelled.
"SO, we are MILLIONAIRES?" he asks...
"No. I didn't buy a ticket." she responded....
He tells me this the next morning when I find him in the lobby looking like crap. He hadn't slept from that point on, all night. I guess I wouldn't either. As much as I hated to dig the poor guy, I just had to tell him...
"Tell your wife to come up with some new winning numbers. I wouldn't play those anymore."
