You win some, you lose some. Nobody knows that better than Walid Aboroomi, a Florida service station owner who recently had the winning numbers in a Florida lottery, but lost his tickets. Aboroomi often plays his numbers, 715, and had won big in the past. Feeling lucky, he bought 184 tickets with his numbers on May 28. But when he learned his numbers won, which would yield him $92,000, the tickets were nowhere to be found. While he checked with his garbage removal company, they had already incinerated its haul.

Man that’s a lot of money, what’s worse is he purchased he’s not only out the 92 grand, but the tickets were a dollar a piece. Ouch!
