Buying ingredients for mushroom spaghetti sauce allowed the lucky from new York to win the $ 5 million in New York Lottery.
56-year-old John Lewis of Saranac Lake, before you take my shift as a bartender, was going to buy in a local store last ingredients for pasta for dinner.
«I ran there before work to buy mushrooms for pasta», — told Lewis, representatives of the New York Lottery — «It’s spaghetti sauce, which my father did».
Lewis was given 10 dollars back, and he decided to buy a lottery Set For Life ticket at a vending machine shop. «I never spent money on such things,» he said. «What brought me here at this time with the proper lottery machine amount in hand, I’ll never know. I asked myself this question again and again within a few days. In the end, I’m just glad it happened to me.»
It turned out it was the best spontaneous purchase of all that Lewis ever made — ticket brought him the main prize in the amount of $ 5 million. Lewis took a lump sum instead, he literally provided a comfortable life, determined to receive their prize in the form of a $ 172 068 annual payments for as long as he lives. This means that Lewis he’ll be lucky to live another 60 years, his winnings can be doubled to $ 10 million.
Lewis immediately quit my job as a bartender in Lake Placid. But flying on private jets or travel to Las Vegas Strip yet is not included in the plans of the lucky — Lewis said that is not going to radically change your life. He uses the winnings to help a family member pay medical bills and to purchase real estate and to ski.
