Man, I can only hope to be
this inconvenienced someday:
A lucky couple expecting to cash in their winning Michigan Lottery ticket became a bit peeved when a store clerk turned down their request.
Bad Axe gas station and convenience store owner Eli Kabban said the man and woman showed up Wednesday morning with what they thought was a $150 winning ticket they'd bought Friday.
They complained when the clerk told them they would have to collect their winnings in Lansing, the state capital, 150 miles away.
And why couldn't they cash in on their hundred and fifty bucks right then and there?
Kabban said he took the couple into his office and explained the ticket was actually worth $250,000. He says they were "in shock" at the news.
I think they'll be happy to make that 150 mile drive now, even with gas prices being pretty high these days. They can afford it now, the lucky bastards.
