I think buying lottery tickets is not a good idea. This kind of gambling can turn into a habit, and could cost a lot of money in the long run. But for a few, it pays off in strange ways.
A man's forgotten bifocals led to a $3 million lottery jackpot.
Bobby Guffey usually plays the same combination of numbers representing the birthdays of his five children. But he left his glasses at home when he bought the winning ticket Aug. 6, accidentally entering the last number as 48 instead of 46. The Hoosier Lotto ticket ended up being worth $3 million.
Guffey, who's from the northeastern Indiana town of Roanoke, said he didn't realize he'd used the wrong number combination until he had left the Huntington service station where he bought it.
He went back inside to buy a ticket with his usual numbers and that ticket won him $1,000 to go along with the jackpot.
