Yeah - shit like this never happens to me, does it?

 
In May 2018, New Jersey accountant Tayeb Souami bought a $5 bottle of orange juice at ShopRite. When he got home, his wife told him the same juice was selling for just $2.50 at another store. So she asked him to return it.
Souami went back to the supermarket with the bottle and receipt. While collecting his refund, he noticed a sign advertising a huge Powerball jackpot. On impulse, he used the refunded money to buy two lottery tickets.
The next morning, on his way to a car wash, he stopped at a 7-Eleven to check them. The first ticket was worthless. But when he scanned the second, the machine told him to see the cashier. The cashier checked it and repeatedly exclaimed, “Oh my God!” Souami had won the $315.3 million Powerball jackpot.
He eventually chose the cash payout of approximately $183.2 million before taxes. And when reporters asked him about the unbelievable coincidence, he laughed and said, “I love orange juice now.”
