人们购买彩票是希望能中奖，有时还会赢得大奖。虽然中奖的几率很小，但回报却很诱人。要想中奖需要大量的运气。但对马萨诸塞州的一名妇女来说，中彩票可不仅仅凭运气。还需要绝对的诚实和善良。利娅・罗丝・菲加（Lea Rose Fiega）不小心扔了一张100万美元的彩票。但多亏了商店老板的善良和诚实，她最终赢得了奖金。今年3月，菲加在马萨诸塞州Southwick的一家便利店购买了一张价值30美元的钻石百万刮奖券。这家商店离她工作的地方很近。这家店被命名为“好运站”。她在周一接受美联社采访时表示:“当时我很着急，正好在午休时间，所以就匆忙地刮了一下……看起来不像是中奖的号码……”所以，她把彩票交给店主扔掉。这张彩票在店里放了10天。
