Man leaves his winning lottery ticket at petrol station!
What would you do with the winning ticket?
Playing the lotto can be a gamble, obviously, but what happens if you win?

"A Kansas man came into a local gas station to get three lottery tickets checked. Because the customer was in a rush, he only checked two of the tickets, and left the third one at the counter.

Andy recognised the customer as he was a regular and so his brother and him set out in search of the customer.

The brothers struck luck when they noticed the man's car passing by and managed to follow the customer and flag him down. When they told him the good news, the man was shaking in excitement.
