This incredible 19-year-old walked into a gas station and bought a Golden Wild Time lottery ticket on a whim. Little did he know that he would actually strike gold!
He scratched and won a shocking $500,000!
The humble teen asked not to be named, but did admit to what he planned to do with the money:
"I'm going to keep about $5,000 for myself to invest, and I'm going to give the rest to my parents," he said in a statement from the Michigan Lottery. "My parents have done so much for my sister and me, helping them takes a big weight off of their shoulders and mine."
Wow.
Whoever his mother is, she's definitely raised him right!
#ICYMI: The parents of an Ingham County teenager got a huge surprise when he won the Lottery! https://t.co/1M5GiRLTkl pic.twitter.com/dzEOHJs59o
