Talk about reverse karma! I love this story as it's a great reminder to turn a situation around to make it something positive. A Maryland man played the license plate numbers of a car that cut him off on the road in the Pick 5 lottery and won half a million dollars. Glen Burnie was returning to Maryland from out of town when a car cut him off on the highway. Upset, he made note of the driver's license plate number and later purchased the lottery tickets using those numbers. The next morning, he "scanned the tickets using the Lottery app on the phone" and was shocked to discover that he'd won $50,000 on each ticket, for a total of $500,000.
