Sometimes, life takes a pleasantly unexpected turn, and that’s exactly what happened to a man from New Jersey who set off on a routine errand only to find his fortune completely transformed.

Meet Tabey Souami, an accountant by profession. His remarkable story begins with a simple piece of advice from his wife, who suggested he return a $5 box of orange juice because she thought it was overpriced. Little did they know, this small act would lead to a life-changing event.

Souami returned to the ShopRite in Hackensack to get his refund, and while he was there, he couldn’t help but notice the Powerball jackpot climbing to an enticing figure.

With the refund in hand, he made a spontaneous decision to purchase two lottery tickets. Days went by, and while at a car wash, he remembered the tickets and decided to check them at a nearby 7-Eleven.

The first ticket? A complete miss as expected. However, the second ticket held a different message: ‘Must be seen by the retailer.’ So, he handed it to the cashier, who immediately lit up with excitement.

The cashier broke the happy news that Souami had hit the jackpot. Yet, Souami remained doubtful; disbelief wouldn’t let him accept the windfall at first.

Once he got home, Souami began comparing the ticket numbers with those published online. The numbers matched, proving he truly held the winning ticket.

Even now, with $315 million to his name, Souami finds it hard to believe his good fortune materialized from such a simple errand.
