The Unbelievable Stupidity Award Goes To…
Seriously? A North Carolina man almost threw away $150,000 because he couldnt keep his mouth shut? I’m not even sure where to begin with this level of baffling incompetence. Apparently, the poor fellow was rambling to a store clerk about how he hadnt checked his Powerball ticket yet, hinting at a potential win, and then proceeded to describe the winning numbers.
Let that sink in. He practically handed the jackpot away on a silver platter of blathering! I mean, some people are just magnetically drawn to self-sabotage, aren’t they? Its like he was actively auditioning for a How Not To Win The Lottery instructional video.
The clerk, bless her heart (and likely thinking she was witnessing the unraveling of a man’s sanity), warned him not to say anything! But did he listen? Of course not. Some people are simply incapable of absorbing basic advice. Its astounding. Absolutely astonishing.
Luckily – for him, and perhaps as a testament to some cosmic joke – the clerk was quick-thinking enough to urge him to check it himself before anyone else caught wind of his verbal diarrhea. He did. And he won. Because, naturally, logic has abandoned this planet entirely. Im just… speechless. Well, almost speechless. Mostly just exasperated.
