Haitian Bus Driver Wins the Lottery in Maryland...

January 28, 2014 9:29 AM


Imagine that... Ysmaille Castor, a Haitian bus driver in Maryland, finds an old Mega Millions ticket from last year under his microwave... He decides to play the numbers again... He wins... 1 Million dollars US... What an amazing story!!!

Ysmaille took the lump sum option, he wil be receiving about $662,500 after taxes.

With that money, Ysmaille, a father of four, plans to pay off his truck and mortgage. He will set up a college fund for his children who are 20 months, three, five and 19, the Maryland Lottery says...

I remember, while living in New York, there used to be this NY State lotery ad that says: "All you need is a Dollar and a dream..."

Well... I guess you also need to start looking for old tickets under the microwave as well...

Congratulations Ysmaille Castor on your winnings... If you are one of newsletter readers, I need about 15,000 dollars to pay off my debts... Bless me... Will you?

What do you think about this?
