• Never leave your grill unattended.
Mike Kane - Owner - "Woolfe's Huff & Puff Mini Mart" New Lexington, OH
Not only was it a happy mistake, but a lucrative one, too. Naomi Mauller, a store clerk in New Lexington, Ohio, flubbed the sale of a customer's Mega Millions lottery ticket Tuesday night by forgetting to add an additional "Kicker" game. Using the same numbers, she printed a new ticket for the customer and bought the botched one herself at a cost of $2. Mauller's error ended up paying off for her and her customer, after the identical numbers won each of them a $250,000 prize. Mauller and her co-winner, who has not been identified, celebrated the happy accident at the Mauller's workplace, Woolfe's Huff & Puff, on Friday. "That was a mistake I'll never forget," she told the Zanesville Times-Recorder. Mauller learned she went from lottery ticket-seller to winner last week when her boss, Mike Kane, was informed that two tickets sold at his store and bearing the same numbers had won $250,000 each. Mystified, he called Mauller for answers. "My wheels started rolling and thought, 'Oh my God, I bought the ticket a customer didn't want. I told Mike, and he said to get down to the store and check the numbers," she told the Times-Recorder. "When I did, it was a winner." Mauller said she planned to use her winnings to pay off some debt and buy a "decent" car to drive to and from work.
