Let’s face it—life can be a grind. Take this guy, for example: a Washington, D.C. postal worker, busting his back for 30 years, delivering mail, day in and day out. You’d think after three decades on the job, he’d be gearing up for a quiet retirement, right? Not quite. Well, at least not until he got some divine intervention in the form of a $1 million lottery win.

Yep, you read that right. One million dollars.

This man has a routine—crossing state lines just to try his luck with Maryland Lottery scratch-offs. But here’s the kicker: it wasn’t even a planned stop. He just popped into a 7-Eleven on Solomons Island Road in Harwood, Maryland. Casual. No big deal. Just buying some scratch-offs, one of which happened to be from the $20 “Millionaire’s Club” game.

The dude gets home, scratches off the ticket, and boom: $1 million staring him in the face. His response? "Thank you, Lord."

I mean, what else do you say when the universe throws you a financial lifeline like that?

This anonymous postal worker is now looking at an early retirement. After three decades of delivering letters, packages, and probably a few misdirected bills, he's about to hand in his final resignation—on his terms.

What’s he going to do with the money? Well, he’s keeping it simple: paying off some bills. Smart. But let’s be real, the guy has just earned his freedom, and with that kind of cash, his options have definitely opened up.

And it’s not just him getting lucky. That 7-Eleven? They’re pocketing a cool $1,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Not life-changing money, but hey, everyone loves a bonus.

But here’s where it gets interesting: there are still three more $1 million tickets floating around, along with a few other juicy prizes. So if you’re feeling lucky, maybe it’s time for your own “unplanned stop.”

The odds? Well, they’re 1 in 3.11 to win something. Which might not sound great, but hey, someone’s got to win, right?
