A resident of the American state of Missouri won two million dollars in the lottery thanks to a phone call. Reported by UPI.
The cell phone rang as Rudy Mendez of Foristell, Missouri, was driving. To pick up the phone and talk, he had to stop at a gas station. At the same time, he decided to go to the store and buy a lottery ticket.
Having won a small amount on the first ticket, the man returned to the store and bought another one. The second ticket brought him the main prize – two million dollars. “I thought it said $ 200,” he said. “Then he removed his finger and quickly hung up.”
After that, Mendes entered the store for the third time. There he scanned the lottery ticket and made sure that his eyes did not deceive him. Now the winner and his wife are deciding what to do with the winnings.
