His wife made him win the lottery - true or false?

[rachael9385]

well, his wife isn't really responsible for him directly, there are lots of factors to be considered here and they are luck and timing. although his wife made it possible by giving the refund that he used but you must understand that if he had played at the wrong he would have lost.  you don't get to see things like this everyday, this is indeed a big win with such a small amount of money,  it is indeed luck

[DaNNy001]

I would not entirely true because it is a luck dependnent factor, he basically won because he got lucky but his wife also played a part by giving him the money he needed...it is more like a coincidental thing, gambling is very unpredictable and funny, there is also a chance that je would have ended up losing as well...this is an enormous amount of money and to think that an old man won this is surprising, I hope he enjoys the rest of his years now that he won such amount

You may want to argue that what if he had spent the refund on something else rather than buy the lottery ticket, but fact is, he bought the lottery ticket and it's because he returned the $5 juice which his wife disapproved, if his wife accepted the juice, there would have been no lottery ticket to win.

The thing I would give the most importance to in all of this is luck. He may not have known that he would win such a big lottery, but why he suddenly returned the juice is really a coincidence. And if you research it, you will not find anything except luck. When someone is lucky, he becomes lucky in one way out of a hundred problems, and if someone's luck is not in his favor, then even if he comes close to winning, he will lose the bet. When I place bets, I often see that I lose in bets where my chances are high or I want to be sure, and I win in bets where I have no chance of winning.

You should not bring in n any spirituality to this matter because I don't see the connection here. Going by the storyline it was obvious that the wife didn't want the husband to waste money in unnecessary pleasure and expenses that is why she refused the juice that the husband bought, I am not sure if actually the husband let the wife know that he use the money gotten from the refund to buy lottery tickets. This is an act of pure luck and nothing else you are only celebrating the winning but you may not know how long that, he has been gambling this may just be one in a thousand.

In case this story is true that is how luck works and there is nothing to be surprised about in my opinion. That kind of luck tend to be one in millions and it is seen in many different scenarios the main one being 6 from 49 which needs to have a 1 in 13.8xx.xxx odds in order to win the top prize and that kind of luck you don't get it by having persistent sessions and playing slot machines. This guy is a hero now even to his wife as long as he says the magic word which is 315 million dollars any woman I am sure would forgive their husband for anything that the husband may have done, don't you guys think so  .

Yes, if she really won something like that, then of course her husband will forgive everything that happened before if he is against gambling or lottery. We can all feel how lucky such a big win is. But such luck never comes to us. I often dream that I have won such a big win, then when I wake up, I try to sleep longer because those dreams are also very interesting ha ha. If such a big win had been a reality, I would have died of happiness at that time.

[Woodie]

That one has to be credited to the wife pissing him off and I think ever since this Jackpot happened I don't think anybody pisses the other off as it will look like someone is trying to land another Jackpot  

But you know what, everyone needs a little motivation once in a while to get off that comfortable seat to see the world differently and the man did.. hope those numbers included his wife's Birthday 🎈.

That's a crazy story but again, we are looking at the once in a billion times story and ignoring the other millions of losing stories that get published nowhere, because well who cares about a $5 loss.

This is one of those stories that companies use for their promotion to lure people into buying the lottery tickets. The chance of this happening is less than you winning the president's elections LOL

By the way crazy they found a way to credit the wife for winning the lottery .

[ScamViruS]

It may seem surprising, but when luck helps a person, he can achieve anything. And this person also experienced something that he never imagined would happen to him in his entire life. His wife deserves all the credit because she used the refund money in the right place and won a life-changing lottery. Because of his luck and the actions of his wife, he has received something that only a few people in the world are fortunate enough to receive. This man is well aware of the importance of his wife in his life.

[Botnake]

Luck is already calling him. Regardless of where the money comes from, the fact that he prioritized buying a lottery ticket when he can use it to buy something else, that's not just wise decision making, that's how luck works in him.

However, the probability rate of doing this is very low since the husband can easily throw the juice instead of returning it. But he really made an effort to return it, and eventually led him to where luck awaits him.

[Orpichukwu]

Some situations sometimes just need to happen for something good to come to the person's life. Who would have thought that $5 would turn the family into millionaires? I don't want to say the wife made him win, but I will just say it's their lucky day. That money could have been used for anything, but he chose a lottery ticket.

[nakamura12]

I think this is clearly a fate that they will win the jackpot. It's a coincidence that the wife rejected the orange juice and instead wanted to buy lottery ticket. This is similar to a person's life wether it's his/her time or not much like the lottery ticket. It's only a coincidence that the money is from the refunded juice. It's not everyday you will find something like this where the money is used for something else then refunded before spending it to buy lottery ticket.

[Ishicryptic]

You cannot rule out coincidences in anything that has to do with luck, being at the right place at the right time matters a lot, a few seconds before or after can change the whole narrative. Many people will go to return a pack of juice and use the refund money to play the lottery and never win, it takes an exceptionally lucky person to get a win at the right time. If you win a jackpot I think that you need to be thankful for all the events that led to the win because they all worked in sequence to land you at your lucky destination. Uncountable people will do the very exact thing that you did and never end up winning the jackpot.

This news happened during 2018 and here’s a reliable source https://www.the-sun.com/money/12817397/man-returns-orange-juice-wins-millions-thought-mistake/

The man is insanely lucky. To have returned an orange juice worth 5 bucks and then go on to win millions. That's a really lucky man. His wife also has a meaniful role to play in his winnings as if she didn't complain about the worth of the orange juice, the man wouldn't have returned it and gotten the lottery ticket that made him win big. Now, they wouldn't have to worry about the price of an orange juice anymore or how to comfortably sort out their kids college bills.

At first glance, i thought the story may not be true. And seeing as the OP got the story from twitter, i thought it to be another fake story put out purely for engagement purposes. Thanks for sharing a link to a news article about it.

As humans we are normally inclined to find some pattern or meaning of everything apparently randomly happening. The victory was in reality but a mechanically unique coincidence of luck and planning. The urge to sell juice in exchange of a ticket was one of the turning points, the realisation that we can hardly do anything about the future. This fact underlines the fact that there are unforeseen shocks that can happen anytime.

[Rengga Jati]

In life, I believe in "fate."

In this case, their destiny is simply that they were incredibly lucky at the time, allowing them to experience that kind of opportunity. And if it's their destiny, regardless of the circumstances, they will still be able to obtain and win the lottery.

The problem is, this is something we can't control, and it probably won't happen twice in our lifetime. Therefore, after achieving this big win under the current conditions, pay attention to your money management and make sure you don't become too aggressive in buying lottery tickets, hoping for the same results again, because it's not guaranteed that you'll have that big luck again.

and some of the steps informed on this site should be one of the ways that we should do or think about after big wins:

These what ifs often lead nowhere because hypothetical scenarios can also be built on hypotheticals and then we end up down an endless path of making assumptions. Just live in the current version of reality and try your best... There isn't much more to it.

You are actually right but sometimes things do work in a miraculous ways, which can happen in some rare cases, especially if one is gambling with the mindset that gambling is only designed to be for fun and entertainment and not where people can come and double their money.
And I do notice it as well, that those that do gamble for fun are always the ones that is mostly or likely to win, but that doesn't mean that people will neglect to follow the rules of gambling, because its important for people to adhere to it, which will guide them and prevent them from making mistakes or taking decision that will not be beneficial to them and to others as well.

From where you get this info, this is not any reliable source. $5 is not a standard with which someone can win $315 Million by buying the lottery. I think this is fake news. These news are spread to create more positive thoughts towards gambling in people. I will not say that gambling is bad, because gambling can keep the mind good and lottery is a very exciting thing that gives us a lot of joy at times and winning the lottery is a surprise gift for us. There are many such users who have won a lot of money by buying the same lottery, but no such user is credible that someone can win $315 million with $5.

Someone else has already answered this in the first page; it's a true, but old story back from 2018, I actually remember reading it a few years ago. The chances of it happening are extraordinary slim, him returning the juice and then purchasing a ticket, the combination is what makes it not-so believable, but it's certainly true. His name is Tayeb Souami from New Jersey, you can look him up and find plenty of information and reliable sources. No need to come up with conspiracy theories that it's a way to lead more people into gambling.

His wife did not buy the ticket.
His wife did not make him buy the ticket.

It was all 100% his choice, so he won. She had nothing to do with that.

She was involved in the whole process, but everything around us is somehow involved the way she was. For instance you walk down the street and a car honks. That honk makes you turn around and see a pretty lady that you end up talking to and you become romantically involved. Did the driver of that car make you find love? He couldn't have known that his action will cause this, right? It was all your choice to talk to that lady and her choice to find you attractive and talk to you.

That’s true, experiences like that don’t happen all the time, and I think that’s what we often call luck in gambling. Regardless of the various reasons behind it, when luck comes our way, we can still manage to achieve a big win. Many people may also have their own unique stories of winning in gambling, where by coincidence they end up hitting the jackpot.
