On this inactive news day, we bring you word that a woman is $1 million richer after buying a winning lottery ticket in San Francisco's Financial District. "The lucky winner, who officials named as M. Slater, purchased the winning $250 Million Cash Spectacular Scratcher ticket at Star Convenience at One Post St," reports SF Appeal.
The convenience store owner will also score $5,000 for selling the winning ticket. Remember that, folks, that the store owner will get money if you win the big prize. Because the guy who owns and runs the convenience downstairs from SFist headquarters refuses to relinquish our Mega Lotto tickets until we promise to give him several thousand dollars if we win. He does this every single time, and thinks he's being cute. But he's not. He really wants the money. Because he's all, "Oh, the security camera caught you saying that, so I can take you to court." And then we're like, "Dude, really? Give us our ticket." Weirdo. (He also once refused to refund us after buying a moldy Hot Pocket one drunken night. He's such a dick.)
Speaking of the Mega Millions, it's up to $200+ million right now. You will never, ever win this prize. Do not bother buying tickets. You will never win the Mega Millions lottery. Sorry to break it to you this way.
