Lucky Nebraska man wins a new truck- after stringent dig through glove compartment!
It’s time to dust off those glove compartments folks, because you never know what riches you could be hoarding along with those napkins and old CDs. One such fortunate Nebraskan has had his life changed dramatically, after discovering a winning scratch-off lottery ticket from last year that had been lying undisturbed amidst a plethora of debris.
The lucky man, Joe Schmoe, had bought the ticket on a whim last year, and pretty much forgot about it after realizing he had not won big. But, as fate would have it, one fine day, Joe decided to clean out his glove compartment after struggling to retrieve his car registration papers. You can imagine his shock when he uncovered the ticket from the depths of his filthy car storage.
According to the Nebraska Lottery authorities, the ticket was worth a brand new Ford F-150 truck, which retails at around $50,000. However, Joe seemed to have been relatively unfazed by the staggering prize and had no plans to sell it. “I don’t really need a new truck, but I’m not going to turn down a new truck either,” Joe muttered nonchalantly. Meanwhile, many members of the public are left wondering if Joe is, in fact, human, and where they can get hold of whatever heck of a gene he has that allows him to react with such utter disregard to winning a brand-new vehicle.
Several members of the public have reportedly flocked to their cars, fishing out every bit of BS clogging their glove compartments. Some have even claimed to have parked their cars with the glove compartments hanging open, just in case Lady Luck decides to throw a scratch-off ticket (or two) their way. Needless to say, there would very likely be a severe garbage crisis in the state if this trend were to catch on.
The team at the Nebraska Lottery authorities have expressed their delight for Joe, but have also implored the public to keep track of their tickets, highlighting the fact that there are many unclaimed prizes out there waiting to be snatched up. Just recently, the Nebraska Lottery reportedly announced the need for a “senior friendly” informational kiosk to aid seniors in checking their tickets regularly.
The events unfolding in Nebraska have started a wave of frenzy across the country, with lottery ticket enthusiasts and car owners digging through their old cemetery of forgotten articles, all in the hope of finding a ticket worth.. well, anything.
Who knows what other treasures you could find in those nooks and crannies of your car? The possibilities are endless. We can only hope that more and more people are encouraged to conduct a thorough investigation of their cars, leading to a cleaner environment and, who knows, maybe a new car or two.
In conclusion, next time you’re looking for something to do, why not take a moment to dig through your glove compartment?
