A construction worker from Maryland is $100,000 richer, all because he decided to skip work.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old was headed to work when he found out he was not needed on the job site that day, so he stopped by a Liquor store and bought some scratch-off ticket.<\/p>\n
He scratched them off in the store and realized he has won the top prize on one of them.<\/p>\n
He headed straight home to share the news with his girlfriend and three children.<\/p>\n
He plans to use the prize to help his family, take care of his girls, purchase a few necessities and maybe take a vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A construction worker from Maryland is $100,000 richer, all because he decided to skip work.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":27489,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 13:20:24","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2022\/04\/construction-worker-wins-big-after-skipping-work\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29287"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29290,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29287\/revisions\/29290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
