In an extraordinary twist of fate that underscores the complexities of love and fortune, a UK couple's dream come true turned into a legal quagmire over a £1 million National Lottery scratchcard win. An absolutely heartwarming tale of love, luck, and legal battles, straight out of a Spalding romance novel, if that novel was written by Kafka.

In a whirlwind of lottery excitement that sounds straight out of a movie script, we've got tales that'll have you shaking your head in disbelief and maybe, just maybe, checking your own lottery ticket twice.

A Michigan resident almost fainted after figuring out that he won $4 million. As he scratched off his $30 instant lottery ticket, he believed that his prize would be $1,000. He had a shock when he noticed a '4MIL' symbol.

"When I scratched the ticket, I thought I had a $1,000 winner because I got a slip that said to contact the Lottery," he explained. "As I looked closer, I saw the '4MIL' symbol, and I almost passed out."

A British man who rescued a policeman when he had a heart attack on a bus has become a new EuroMillions UK Millionaire.

A water quality engineer, Anthony Canty, maintains the water quality for the London care homes and hospitals. In April this year, as he was returning home from Witham, a policeman who sat next to him, collapsed. Canty had to act quickly. He pressed the bell for the bus to stop and gave the officer CPR as he had had a first aid training at work. The following month, Anthony Canty celebrated £1 million (US$1.2 million) lottery win with his family and two children. The UK's EuroMillions add-on raffle drawing that made Canty a millionaire was held on the 5th of May, 2020.

A Santa Rosa (CA) man came back from his lunch break as a multi-millionaire. 57-year old Keith Johnson works in the wine business.  At lunchtime, he stopped at Sam's Market in Santa Rosa to get a sandwich.

Johnson also purchased a $20 Scratchers lottery ticket. As he returned to work, he was shocked to find out that he won $5 million lottery prize (before taxes).

"I kept [the ticket] in my lunchbox," Johnson said. "It seemed fine, as long as nobody knew I had it. It was always near."

An 80-year-old Mt. Vernon man won $6.3 million on March 23 after getting all six of winning numbers right on a free lottery ticket from an earlier drawing— and he almost left it at the store.
