<h3 style="text-align: center;">Florida Man Wins $1 Million Lottery Ticket After Being Cut In Line At Ticket Counter</h3>
<p>Last month, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/florida-man-wins-1-million-lottery-ticket-after-being-cut-in-line-by-rude-stranger/?_gl=1*t3y65k*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTExMjMzMTE2My4xNjc3ODY0NTAz*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY3Nzg3Nzc3NS40LjAuMTY3Nzg3Nzc3NS4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>The Shade Room</strong></em></a> reported that a Florida man won a $1 million on a lottery ticket he bought after being cut in line by a rude customer.</p>
<p>Stephen Munoz Espinoza said he was exhausted following a day of work and was looking to buy a lottery ticket when he was cut in line at the ticket machine.</p>
<p>Espinoza, 43, ultimately decided to avoid a confrontation with the other lotto customer, and opted to instead buy his ticket at the counter inside Publix Super Market, the New York Post reports.</p>
<p>He says it had been a long day and was too tired to confront the line-skipper over taking his place at the ticket machine.</p>
