UPI News - A Michigan man who had to make a second trip to the grocery store to return an unwanted item ended up winning a $1 million lottery prize.

The 58-year-old Bay County man told Michigan Lottery officials he went to Jack's Fruit Market on Salzburg Avenue twice in one day.

"I had been to Jack's earlier in the day and bought a couple of tickets," the player recalled. "I had to return an item later in the day, and decided to buy a couple more tickets and one of those was the $1 million winner!".

The winner said he will use his prize money to pay off his house and bolster his savings.

I guess I have to say congrats to this guy, but I also have to say that I despise this guy. I don't mean that in a miserable fuck type of way I mean that in a "why did this guy get to enjoy a great benefit from a mundane task I have done 3848949329239209 times before, and I don't." Now that I think about it, maybe that it is a miserable fuck type of way, but let me explain.

Do you know how many times I have had to make a second trip to the store? Just the other day I came back with lunch for my wife and a friend visiting and forgot macaroni salad. They will give you the "it's ok" but you can tell you fucked up and they really want it so back out I went. Do you know how many times you come home from the store and need to go back out for an item you forgot (or I specifically forgot)? Millions. In none of those trips has anything good ever happened. 

In fact shitty things happen. I've been in an accident on a 2nd trip, I've had no good songs on the radio, nothing. The trip sucks. The line back at the store is always somehow longer the 2nd time back, you park further away, and everything is more of a hassle. Yet this guy hits for a million because he returned an item at a grocery store. Fuck this guy.
