SPOKANE, Wash. - A 26-year-old Iraq war veteran bought four scratch-off lottery tickets at a convenience store after an evening workout and wound up winning $1 million.

Wayne Leyde, who served two tours in Iraq with the Army, bought his winning Millionaire II ticket Tuesday night at a Zip Trip in Mead, about 10 miles northeast of Spokane.

1. Wow. I love reading about lottery winners.
I don't play but I have a thing for that sort of beating the odds. :)
