One Massachusetts man who recently had double bypass heart surgery encountered a stroke of good luck, fortuitously winning a $1 million lottery after scratching out the word “heart” on his ticket.
Alex McLeish, from Attleboro, in November was gifted three tickets along with a get well soon card from his childhood friend Larry. Upon scratching the first three letters of his “$5,000,000 100X Cashword” instant ticket, he revealed the letters A, M, and W, which are his own initials, Boston Herald reported.
