The next day, Tayeb Souami reviewed his honey-do list, which included washing the car. After completing this seemingly mundane task, he went to a gas station to check on the lottery tickets he purchased. The first one wasn't a winner. But the second one was!
The cashier was stunned. At first, she didn't have any words before she finally told Tayeb Souami he had the winning Powerball lottery ticket. For Tayeb, life had changed in an instant. Overwhelmed with the prospect of millions of dollars, it took him two hours to drive home because he was shaking by the change of his new reality.

When he walked through his front door, his wife asked why it had taken so long for Tayeb to get home. At that moment, he fell apart with tears running down his face as he revealed the winning lottery ticket to his wife.
It took more than a month for Tayeb to come forward. He was concerned about leaving his job and wanted to make sure the 200 people he worked with were going to be taken care of after he resigned. “I have to take care of them,” he said. “It’s not so easy to quit just like that.”
