**BREAKING: Local Man’s TV Commercial Viewing Habits Lead to Life-Changing $50,000 Lottery Prize**
In a bizarre incident that has left lottery officials scratching their heads, a Maryland man has won a whopping $50,000 prize after watching a TV commercial for a local car dealership.
According to sources, 32-year-old John Smith was flipping through channels when he stumbled upon a commercial for “Bob’s Budget Cars” featuring a charismatic salesman doing a backflip off a trampoline while holding a giant novelty check.
As Smith watched in awe, he felt an inexplicable urge to buy a lottery ticket. “I don’t know what it was, but something about that guy’s mid-air spin move just gave me a good vibe,” Smith said in an interview. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to buy a car from a guy who can do a backflip in a three-piece suit?”
Smith purchased a ticket for the Maryland Lottery’s “Lucky Streak” game and, on a whim, decided to check his numbers. To his shock, he had matched all six numbers and won the $50,000 prize.
“I was screaming like a lunatic and doing the cha cha slide in front of the TV,” Smith exclaimed. “My cat thought I had lost my mind, but I didn’t care – I was too busy crying tears of joy and thinking about all the Bob’s Budget Cars commercials I could star in!”
Lottery officials were stunned by the coincidence and have launched an investigation into the possible link between TV commercials and good fortune. “We’re not saying that watching Bob’s Budget Cars commercials will guarantee a win, but… actually, that’s exactly what we’re saying,” said a lottery spokesperson with a wink.
Smith plans to use his winnings to buy a new car from – you guessed it – Bob’s Budget Cars. “I’m going to drive off the lot in a brand-new ride, and I’m going to make sure Bob himself hands me the keys while doing a backflip off the hood,” Smith said with a grin.
In related news, Bob’s Budget Cars has seen a surge in sales and has announced plans to air a new commercial featuring Smith himself doing a backflip off a trampoline while holding a giant novelty check. Stay tuned!
