The Zagamis went for grocery shopping on a summer day in Masschusetts and bought a lottery ticket from a vending machine. It only cost them $5 dollars and all they had to do was scratch and find out if they had the winning numbers. They put the ticket in their bag and completely forgot about it, and guess what? They threw it the bin after cleaning out the bag. However, they remembered the ticket the next day and dug out the ticket from the trash. It was a good thing they did do that, since they managed to win a million dollars. However, they only got $455,000 dollars after taxes.
