Running errands are a drag, especially when they aren't even
your errands, but one Wisconsin man's trip to the
convenience store for his wife ended up changing their lives.
John Rumpel, a former high school teacher, bought a lottery
ticket while he was out getting a gallon of milk at the request
of his wife.
Not only did that ticket turn out to be a winner, but Rumpel
became the largest Megabucks jackpot winner in the games
history, to the tune of $22.2 million.
"It wasn't until after the drawing that I flipped on the news
and saw that the winning ticket was sold in Milwaukee and I
looked up and saw the convenience store on there and I
went, 'Oh man, that might be me.'"
And it was.
Rumpel took the cash option, so after taxes, he'll take home
$15.7 million.
