After undergoing double bypass heart surgery, a Massachusetts man was gifted a 'get well soon' card from a childhood friend containing three instant lottery tickets, including one which turned out to be a $1 million winner.
Once McLeish started scratching off the “Your Letters” area of the ticket, the first three letters revealed were A, W and M, which just happen to be his initials. Then he noticed the word that appeared on the bottom row of his winning puzzle was “HEART," which the Massachusetts lottery called a "positive omen."
Alex McLeish won a $1 million prize from the Massachusetts State Lottery after his friend gifted it to him inside a “get well soon” card for his double bypass surgery. He received a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes but said this wasn't his first time striking a lucky lottery ticket. McLeish won a $1,000 prize several years ago on a ticket he received from the same friend as a birthday gift, according to the state lottery's press release.
McLeish told the Boston Herald he plans to give some of his earnings to his adult sons and to his childhood friend, Larry. Before winning, he booked a trip to the Bahamas. “It’ll just be a little bit more enhanced trip to the Bahamas,” he said.Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
