American man forgets glasses, buys ‘wrong’ lottery ticket and wins $30,000

Tickety boo

Ben Kenyon

This guy must have been giving himself a right arse-kicking for buying the wrong lottery ticket.

Bob Sabo couldn’t be bothered waiting in line for his weekly ticket…so he went to buy one from a vending machine — something he had never done before.

But silly Bob, of Easton, Connecticut, messed up buying his usual ticket because he had forgotten his glasses.

He must have been kicking himself all the way home…until he realised his f**k up had made him $30,000 richer.

You can’t say that’s not blind luck.
