💰 Said, "Why not?" — and accidentally won a million — On 22 September, in Michigan, USA, a 62-year-old man went in to buy a few lottery scratch tickets.
An ordinary purchase, an ordinary day.
But the cashier suddenly suggested:
— Wouldn't you like some more Ruby 7s?
The man shrugged and replied along the lines of:
"Why not?"
Very expensive words.
Already in the car, he scratched off the protective layer and saw the win:
$1 000 000.
His daughter was beside him. When she realized what had happened, she jumped for joy so sharply that she nearly hit her head on the car roof.
Meaning the win nearly required immediate expenses for the emergency room.
The winner himself admitted that at first he simply couldn't believe his eyes.
And now the story proves perfectly: sometimes the most financially successful strategy looks like this:
walk into a store,
hear a random suggestion from the cashier,
to say "well, all right",
and walk out a millionaire.
Perhaps this is one of the most expensive phrases "why not?" in recent times.
