In a shocking turn of events, a Massachusetts man claims that he is now a millionaire thanks to a stroke of luck and a bad friend’s advice. The man, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of becoming the target of friend’s wanting to borrow money, said that he was at a complete loss for words when he realized that he had won the lottery jackpot.
According to the lucky man, he was going through a tough time and feeling down when his “friend” offered up the sage advice to “go big or go home.” Little did he know that this advice would lead him to riches beyond his wildest dreams. But let’s give credit where credit is due, shall we? Who knew that a terrible friend could actually give such great advice?
The winning numbers were drawn last week and the man was one of two players who matched all six of the numbers. When asked how he planned to spend his newfound riches, the man replied, “I plan on going big, but I’m definitely going to stay home and avoid all my so-called ‘friends’ who were nowhere to be found when I was broke.”
While some may argue that his friend’s advice was actually sound, we can’t help but wonder what kind of person would give such potentially life-changing advice with no consideration for the consequences. We can only hope that the “friend” in question learned a valuable lesson: be careful what advice you give to your broke friends, as they just might end up richer than you.
It’s clear that the lottery winner still can’t believe his luck. “I’m still in disbelief. I keep looking at the ticket to make sure it’s real,” he said. But we know the truth – he’s just trying to avoid all those pesky “friends” who want a piece of the pie.
As for the rest of us who weren’t so lucky, we can only dream of what it would be like to be able to “go big” without having to worry about the consequences. Maybe it’s time we all took a page out of this Massachusetts man’s book and embraced the mantra that has made him a millionaire: “go big or go home.” Or maybe, just maybe, we should all avoid terrible friends who give bad advice and simply focus on working hard and saving our money.
Either way, we can all agree on one thing – a stroke of luck like this is the kind of news we all need to brighten up our day. So, congratulations to the lucky Massachusetts man. We hope you enjoy your newfound wealth and avoid the leeches that are sure to come crawling out of the woodwork. As for the rest of us, we’ll just keep dreaming of the day that we can utter those magical words – “go big or go home.”
