Winning The Trucker Customer Lottery

Years ago, I used to work at a convenience store in the middle of farmland. It was popular with truckers who hauled the sugar beets from the field to the processing plants.

One trucker would come in just about every morning during harvest season for coffee, donuts, and scratch-off lotto tickets. He would usually buy $5 to $10 worth of tickets and leave one for the cashier as a sort of tip.

Most of them were duds, but one that he gave me was a $50 winner!
