On May 1, 2018, New Jersey resident Tayeb Souami bought a bottle of orange juice for $5 at his local grocery store. The 56-year-old resident of Little Ferry, New Jersey returned home, but his wife quickly instructed him to return the juice. Apparently, it was on sale for half the price at another store. Who doesn’t love a good bargain?
Tayeb heeded his wife’s request and headed back out to return the orange juice to the same ShopRite in Hackensack. When he walked up to the customer service counter, the brand new sign advertising the latest Powerball instantly grabbed his attention. The winner would receive $306 million.
