Oct. 24 (UPI) -- An Australian man who won $136,411 from a scratch-off lottery ticket said he never would have bought the ticket if a mission to buy chlorine for his pool hadn't failed.
The Gosnells, Western Australia, man, who is in his 70s, told Lotterywest officials he only decided to buy a scratch-off ticket when he discovered the store where he buys chlorine for his pool was closed.
