A Rockville man almost threw away the $50,000 winning ticket he purchased for the October 30 Powerball drawing at the Sunoco at 1469 Rockville Pike. Full story below courtesy of the the Maryland Lottery:
”Scanning multiple Lottery tickets at a retailer can be a monotonous experience, if you have a lot of non-winning games, but that all changes when you win.
“I have never won more than $4 before so I thought the machine was not working. I am glad that I didn’t throw it in the trash,” he said, laughing.
The business owner said he remained calm about the win. He plans to use the money to pay off bills and will put some of the windfall back into his business.”

For 42 years he has been spending $40 a week on lottery tickets and finally won $10,000.
He has by far spent more than the $10,000 he finally won after 42 years.
I hope he has been keeping his loosing tickets and writing them off as losses on his taes.
