A fortunate Maryland resident struck it big, winning a whopping £450,000, all thanks to a cashier's serendipitous mistake.

The regular lottery player, who remains anonymous, had a routine of purchasing the same lottery ticket every time from a local petrol station.

However, when a new cashier served him, a typing error resulted in the wrong ticket – a 'Multi-Match' instead of his usual 'Cash4Life.' Despite the cashier's efforts to rectify the mistake, it couldn't be undone.

On his way to work, the man decided to check the ticket using the Lottery mobile app, and to his astonishment, the 'Multi-Match' ticket turned out to be worth a massive $580,000.

The unexpected windfall made for an exhilarating morning commute, proving that sometimes mistakes can lead to life-changing outcomes.
