Yet Another reason to double check those lottery tickets

No good deed goes unrewarded we suppose.

An Indiana couple who had grown tired of watching trash collect along a stretch of road in their area, decided to take matters into their own hands and do a personal clean up of the affected part of the county.

During the clean up they collected 13 bags of trash, six tires and three cans of an ancient brew called Billy Beer, an ale that last saw the light of day back in the Carter administration of 1976.

While they collected the rubbish that had accumulated on the side of the road, they came across a scratch and win ticket which turned out to be worth fifteen dollars, a winfall that they parlayed into more tickets and a surprising 1,000 dollar winner.

Considering their remarkable string of luck, we wonder if they held on to the three cans of beer as well, perhaps it's worth a small fortune as well destined for some aficionado of pop culture.

Which could make cleaning day, Clean Up day.
