LOUISIANA -- It was obviously meant to be for one Louisiana man, who was sold the wrong lotto ticket.
Robert Thibodaux woke up Sunday morning to discover his ticket matched the five Power Play numbers called the night before.
He says he went to the store to buy the ticket, but the cashier gave him the Power Play ticket instead of his usual one. Telling her it was no problem, he took the ticket and went home.
And it gets better the Power Play multiplied his $200,000 ticket five times -- making his pay out one million dollars. How lucky is he?
