Michael Chavez received a text from a colleague joking about winning the Mega Millions. Upon checking, he found he had indeed won over $1.2 million with five correct numbers. Meanwhile, Nebraska's Jeremiah Ehlers is charged with stealing a winning ticket worth $300,000. Additionally, Jacqueline Mangus, from Virginia, hid her $1 million lottery ticket in her Bible, which showcased unique stories emerging from the realm of lotteries.
Chavez said he'd forgotten to tell his staff he wouldn't be at the office, and his co-worker joked that he knew the reason for his absence, sending him a screenshot of the Mega Millions results from the California Lottery website.
I could not believe my eyes. I'm so excited and extremely grateful, Chavez said. I'll never forget... that text.
Prosecutors in Lancaster County in Nebraska have charged Jeremiah Ehlers with stealing a winning ticket worth $300,000.
However, police allege that security video shows that he stole lottery tickets from the convenience store where he worked.
