A California woman’s
generosity may have cost her $260,000, without her knowing it.
加利福利亞一名大方的女子已經(jīng)在不知不覺(jué)中為她的慷慨花費(fèi)了26萬(wàn)美元。
Emily Leach, a nurse at a veterans affairs hospital in Palo Alto who is still celebrating a $1 million
Lotto win earlier this year, says she inadvertently handed a stranger her second winning Lotto ticket, The Mercury News reported.
據(jù)澳大利亞水星報(bào)報(bào)道,艾米麗里奇是帕洛阿爾托醫(yī)院的護(hù)士,年初中了一百萬(wàn)美元的樂(lè)透大獎(jiǎng)。里奇表示她無(wú)意中把自己第二次中獎(jiǎng)的彩票給了一個(gè)陌生人。
She says last Friday she handed $100 bill to a man standing behind her on line at Liquor & Tobacco, a
convenience store in Mountain View, Calif., the paper reported. But she told the paper that she accidentally mixed up a winning $260,000 lottery ticket with the money that she handed a man who appeared to be struggling
financially.
報(bào)紙寫道:她說(shuō)上周五在加利福利亞的便利店中,將100美金給了排在她后面的男子。但她告訴記者,她居然不慎把26萬(wàn)美金的樂(lè)透彩票和錢放在一起給了這個(gè)看上去很窮困潦倒的男人。
The
unidentified man reportedly returned to the store to say he had the ticket, and some of Leach’s good fortune may have rubbed off on him after she bought him the winning ticket. Leach denies that account.
這位不明身份的男人據(jù)說(shuō)不久后返回便利店,拿著這張彩票說(shuō)里奇的運(yùn)氣“傳染”給了他,但里奇則否認(rèn)了這一說(shuō)法。
"That’s my ticket," Leach, a
pancreatic cancer survivor who once owed $300,000 in medical bills, told the paper. "He knows it's my ticket. I feel like I'm going to come off as a huge, huge bitch if I say, 'You need to give me my ticket back.'"
“這是我的彩票”,曾因胰腺癌支付30萬(wàn)美金醫(yī)療費(fèi)用的里奇告訴記者,“他知道這是我的彩票,我知道這么說(shuō)可能有點(diǎn)不知羞恥,但我必須對(duì)他說(shuō):你得把我的彩票還給我”
The ticket holder has not come forward and Lotto officials are investigating the matter, the paper reported. Store
surveillance video may be a helpful tool, the report said.
據(jù)報(bào)道,持彩票的男人此后并沒(méi)有現(xiàn)身,樂(lè)透彩票主管部門也表示會(huì)調(diào)查此事,希望店內(nèi)的監(jiān)控錄像能幫上大忙。
"They're going to look at the video and see if she's the one actually buying the ticket. If no one else is in the picture, that puts things firmly in her favor," Alex Traverso, a spokesman for the lottery
commission told the paper.
“他們準(zhǔn)備看錄像,確認(rèn)她是否真的買了那張彩票。如果圖像里除她之外別無(wú)他人,那當(dāng)然要給她這筆錢?!睒?lè)透的發(fā)言人 Alex Traverso對(duì)記者說(shuō)道。
