UAn Indian family who owns a small store in Southwick, Massachusetts, returned a $ 1 million prize (about 820,000 euros) to a customer who disposed of it without canceling it entirely.
Last March, Regular Agent Lea Rose Fiega bought a $ 30 (about 24 €) scratch card from the family’s father, Aruna Shah, who apparently didn’t have a prize. Lea has visited the store since it opened five years ago and always buys shipping cards.
Notably, the premium scratch cards are housed in a container on the table, and so was Lea Rose’s scratch cards.
However, after ten days, Abhi Shah, the 30-year-old son, was emptying the container when he noticed that one of the scratch cards (the $ 30 stick) had not been completely shaved. When he scraped and saw the prize it contained, Abhi confessed that he was thinking of all the things a family could do with money. “We were in a struggle. We didn’t sleep for two nights, but I don’t know what happened. My soul told me, ‘It’s not right, you know who this person is, you should bring him back.’ That’s exactly what we did,” he said, Or the Washington Post.
On March 29, Lea Rose Fiega was expected to return to the store. They didn’t show up, they went to her office. Abhi Shah recalls that the woman thought she forgot to pay anything. I said, “No, it’s okay. It will change your life.” When he saw the note, he began to cry.
Lea Rose was so grateful to the Shah family that she gave them a share of their retirement money. Additionally, the family received $ 10,000 (roughly € 8,200) to sell the ticket, according to the Massachusetts Lottery.
