  Have you been to a gas station in California recently, where you cashed in a lottery ticket and won an exciting $75? Hold onto your hat and find a chair, because you might’ve actually won $75,000 instead.

  Though you are unlikely to be this lucky person, there is a man out there who is much richer than he thought, reports ABC 7.

  The gas station manager says a cashier misread the numbers on the machine when a man came into the store and handed over his lottery ticket. The guy took his money and left before the cashier could realize his big mistake.

  The California Lottery is now on the case, doing a slow but thorough search to find the guy who’s missing out on a tidy sum right about now. The store’s manager hopes the public knows who he is so he can reap his rewards. And the clock is ticking — he’s got about six months left to claim it.
