Man Returns Orange Juice, Walks Away with $315 Million
Sometimes, life’s biggest twists come from the smallest decisions.
For Tayeb Souami, a simple errand to return a bottle of orange juice ended in a life-changing surprise: a $315 million Powerball win.
The cashier checked the ticket on her system. Her reaction said it all. “Oh my god, oh my god,” she kept repeating. Then she looked at Souami and said he had won “big.” In fact, it was “very big.” He had just won the $315 million Powerball jackpot.
At a press conference held soon after, Souami shared how shocked and grateful he felt. His first thoughts were about his children, who were then 20 and 17 years old. The win, he said, would allow him to support their education and secure a better future for them.
As for any big splurges? There was no talk of mansions or yachts. But he did crack a smile and joke, “I love orange juice now.”
The moment serves as a reminder that sometimes, even the most mundane tasks can lead to something extraordinary. All it took was a returned bottle of juice and a $2 ticket to rewrite one man’s story forever.
