In news that will surely send shockwaves through absolutely no one, a retiree in Massachusetts has won a princely sum of one million dollars in the lottery.

Sources close to the situation report that the retiree, whose name has not been released, is over the moon about his new windfall. “I’m just so happy to have this extra money to spend during my golden years,” he said, while sipping a cup of decaf and staring wistfully out his window.
What exactly the retiree plans to do with his newfound fortune is still up in the air. Some speculate that he will buy a new home, others think he might travel the world, but sources say that it’s more likely he will spend it all on scratch-off tickets.
In any case, the retiree’s big win has once again sparked debate among the public over whether or not the lottery is a worthwhile endeavor. Some argue that the chance of winning big is worth the cost of a regular ticket, while others say that the odds are so stacked against players that it’s hardly worth the effort.
Either way, the retiree seems unconcerned about any potential downsides to his new wealth. “I’m just glad I can finally afford that new pair of slippers,” he said, beaming.
For those wondering how the retiree managed to pull off such a feats as winning the lottery and retiring early, it seems that he simply got lucky. There were no secret strategies or insider tips involved, just good old-fashioned luck.
