MAN WHO WON $10M JACKPOT GIVES CLERK WHO PICKED WINNING TICKET SHOCKING PAYOUT
A guy from California bought a $10 million scratch-off ticket at a petrol station.
Brent Young went into Prince Food and Gas in Visalia, California, to get a scratcher, but he wasn't sure which one to pick, so he consulted with a cashier for advice.
The California Lottery quoted Young as saying, "I was like, 'Just pick whichever one.' I didn't care." The cashier picked out a California 200X game for Young that cost $30.
Young began scratching after he bought his petrol and his ticket. As he continued, he unearthed a square that revealed a $10,000,000 grand reward.

According to Young's statement to the California Lottery, he often fills up and buys a lottery ticket at a different gas station, but he went to Prince's that day since his normal one was closed.
Almost like God Himself stepped in," he remarked. I didn't have my heart set on a certain seat, so I let someone else pick for me.
The only option I had was to head over to Prince's. Sadly, my go-to hangout was shuttered. Nothing like this would have happened if it had been accessible.
The winnings were eventually claimed by Young, who received $5.8 million, and the gas station owner, who received $50,000.
