Almost sounds like something I would do

Did you hear about the man that was given a lottery ticket for Christmas and threw it away. He did pull it out of the trash later and guess what? It was a big winner. He almost threw away $650,000. Sounds like something I would have done but I would have been stupid enough not to dig it back out. Check out the story:
A Vermont man who threw out a lottery ticket he’d been given for Christmas pulled it out of the trash and cashed it – winning $650,000.
Steven LeClair of Richford got the ticket for the Dec. 24 Tri-State Megabucks drawing as a gift from his mother. But it was in a gift bag that LeClair threw away, not knowing it was inside.
Vermont Lottery spokeswoman Hadley Melendy said LeClair’s wife found out two days later that the only winning ticket had been sold at Mac’s Richford Market, so he went through a trash receptacle in his home and found it.
If it hadn’t been for his wife, he wouldn’t have even known he won that money. So you see that only proves that behind every successful man is a smart woman!!! Or in his case, behind this lottery winning man is a woman that saved his rear.
