Welcome back to all my friends who love the movie "It Could Happen To You" with Nicolas Cage and where-have-you-gone Bridget Fonda. Here's a story sort of close, but with a Maryland twist.
A guy from down in Silver Spring did a favor for a relative. (Yes, it happens!) He had been lending a hand to his kin, and when the relative pulled off for gas, he decided to treat the guy right...
"I was on the phone with him when he pulled into a gas station," the man recalled. "He told me that, while he was there, he would buy me a scratch ticket as a 'thank you' for the help I'd been to him."
It was a $10 Double Your Money scratcher. The helpful guy told the relation to go ahead and peel back the numbers.
At first the guy said it looked like a $100 winner, but then he said he might have looked at it wrong, so he would go home and check it out. Yes. Please don't try to read your lottos while driving away from the Exxon on Viers Mill Rd.
Well. great gosh a-mighty and praise Nicolas Cage: the ticket was a $100,000 winner.
"It was impossible to believe. I never win anything," the winner said.
Well, first time for errthang, and go find that movie online. It has Isaac Hayes and that spells movie magic!
