Timothy Clougherty who is a resident of Accomack Virginia found a penny on the ground at a parking lot outside of a mini mart on Monday April 29. Timothy then went inside of a Bloxom Mini Mart and purchased a $10,000 a month scratch lottery ticket. When Timothy used his lucky penny to scratch off the numbers on the lottery ticket, he was amazed that he won a prize of $10,000 a month for the next ten years. Timothy decided to take the lump sum of $1,028,000 which after he pays his taxes he will use his winnings to pay his bills and take care of his family. Link is upi.com/8551716236091 via @upi

For a one-cent coin, he certainly made it work for him, and multiplied it into a fortune. Very lucky, indeed.

That story is almost similar to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie found some money and used it to buy himself a chocolate. Brilliant!
