U.S. man finds forgotten $9M lotto ticket just in time
Imagine winning $9 million USD and not even knowing it.
That's what almost happened to one Chicago man who found a forgotten winning lotto ticket in a tax folder just days before it was set to expire.
According to WBBM Newsradio, Irving Przyborski bought several tickets last year and thought he had checked the numbers on all of them. It seems the lucky ticket somehow made its way into a tax folder and wasn't noticed until Przyborski sat down to do his taxes last week.
He took the ticket to a local store where he discovered his tax bill was about to get a lot bigger —Przyborski had won $9 million.

Irony.
-
The odds of winning nine mill are pretty long, but talk about the irony if that particular ticket just happened to come into this man's possession by blowing out of the window of a passing Buick and alighting at his feet, kinda like that fluffy white flitty errant feather in Forrest Gump.

First thing to do is to hire a attorney and get a new will made up.
Then claim the ticket, change your name and hot foot it out of town.
If you stay in town get a few Pit Bulls to guard the door, you will be able to do nothing right by friends and family. Family comes around wanting a hand out and you insist on an attorney approved loan to them, they will cuss you out., Your Church and or Lodge will be breathing down your neck for a piece of your pie.
You will be harassed and called a cheap miser if you improve your life from buying a new home to a new car.
Life changing times here, best to give all up and move to a place where no one knows you and a friend is a friend because they like you and not what they expect to get out of you.
Send close relatives a good size check for holidays and anniversary's,
Give only to those that do not ask, do this anonymously and when you see a church that needs money for paint or Choir robes, give to them on the Quiet.
