No fucking reason to be upset because I don’t have a charger and you’re literally going 5 minutes down the fucking road

*I hope I didn’t break any rules by this turning into an advice post. I will delete the post after I get out of work, if it’s still up. I would like to read everyone’s thoughts. I have to put in overtime today for work I didn’t finish last week. I would like to add that my wife’s and my vehicles are already paid off and the only real debt we have is 9 years left on a 25 year mortgage. Thank you everyone for your replies and I’ll go through them still.*

**also I’m aware of taxes and the amount will be way less but it’s still an eye popping amount. I will not quit my job I’ve worked too hard through college and everything else to just quit**

This past Saturday I did my usual routine after work and stored at a convenience store. Got my usual drink, gas and a $20 scratch off.

I usually lose money in them sand if I do win it’s anywhere from break even or $50/$75/$100 dollars. The most I ever one off this particular one was $200. I got home and just left the ticket on my dresser and Sunday morning I scratched it. I thought I won $750 and thought “oh cool” and just went about my day.

It wasn’t until later when I was ready to go cash the amount when I noticed a “k” behind one of the numbers. I thought I had lost because 3 numbers had to match. Until I really looked at the ticket and all three matching numbers read $750k. Before anyone says how can you mistake a “k” I was slightly intoxicated and thought it read $750.oo.

It’s Monday afternoon and I’m literally scared. I didn’t sleep one minute last night and 1000 things have been running through my mind.

I came to work as normal but I’m staring into space. I know I won’t see it all but it’s the equivalent of 10 years worth of my salary alone

Who do I tell

Who can I trust after

Can I hire an attorney to accept the money on my behalf

Do I just live normally and have things paid as usual

I have a wife and three children and I worry for them as well
