This story really put a smile on my face. Mel Cappel Rosaline are the true big winners in this case. Any one who has ever been on a transplant list who get the organ they need. Has hit the jackpot already. A second chance at life. Great story.

Nice story and congrats to both.

He's not one in a million, but rather $100 out of $500

LiveInGreenBay,

Currently, I live on the East Coast, in the Mid-Atlantic area, with a relative.

I'm sorry. I choose not to be more precise.

I've been to Green Bay, though, when I used to drive the big truck. My only gripe about Wisconsin is the cold (in the winter-time). But here, it includes the weather, AND inconsiderate people (mostly liars and other corrupt persons). Not to mention what goes on in traffic, around here. It's horrible.

( I had a small incident, with a... [ More ]

My guess would be that racists would have bad karma, and being fools, were they to win the lottery, would end up in Jack Whitaker hell, but that's just me.

I'm curious Groppo... Where do you live now. And I hope you win and move somewhere nicer.

LiveInGreenBay,

I think hot sauce would take this position, (if it was him who found the ticket) :

Shoo'. I found me a $500 dolla ticket! Aa-mmo git me some crack.

Then, again, what if I found the ticket?

I must say, I wouldn't try too hard to find out whom the ticket belonged to.

Mainly because the town I live in has deteriorated in the past 50 or so years.

My county went from a normal one, to one I can't stand anymore (mainly because of the citizens in thi... [ More ]

That is a rare and decent thing to do. Not too many folks like them left in this world anymore.

Odd. I would think that a man in need of a lung transplant wouldnt have the energy to play Sherlock and schlepp from store to store.

Rosaline and Mel Cappel deserve the recognition and thanks.

The temptation to do the wrong thing and not track down the correct store must have been immense.

Couple finds winning lottery ticket, tracks down rightful owner

Doing the right thing can pay off in more ways that you can imagine. One man in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, says he is living proof of that.

That man and his wife found a winning lottery ticket in Saint Clair and returned it to its rightful owner. Then, in a way, the man hit the jackpot.

After the couple found the winning ticket in April, they went through a long process to track the rightful owner down and return it.

But since returning it, they have been quite the lucky couple. T... [ More ]
