Most of us have spare change lying around the house, tossed all over the car, we carry coins in our pockets and purses and sometimes even the thought of receiving pennies makes people frown. Lotteries

In a world wherein money has practically been reduced to a plastic card, to a phone message, to a mere number on a screen, sometimes a couple of pennies or quarters are really not something we would even pay attention to. But beware, for those pennies that you receive can actually change your life, if you know how to invest it wisely.

But how would you invest a handful of quarters and pennies?  They can barely buy you a drink and a candy bar, not even enough to buy a complete meal, you might think.  Surely a couple of quarters are enough to buy you a lottery ticket and surely when you win those little coins multiplied in a way unknown to the rational mind.

Take for example Donald Densberger. He pulled to a gas station to fill his tank and decided to pay for it in cash; because of this he was given back some change.  Instead of putting his change in one of his pockets and driving all the way back with a couple of quarters jiggling inside a loose pocket he decided to get rid of the change buying him a ticket to riches.

He bought a Pennsylvania Lottery Cash 5 ticket. “It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase,” Donald said.

All he wanted was to make use of his change in the best way possible.  And he actually did, this spur-of-the-moment purchase was greatly rewarded with half a million dollars! Just think of it instead of having a few quarters in his pocket, Donald found a way to pocket a few hundred thousand dollars.

Donald Densberger lives in Nescopeck, Pennsylvania. Now that he is half a million dollars richer, he will have the amazing opportunity to experience the world up-close and very personal.  He is the type of guy who loves travelling and with this win he will be able to travel wherever he wants.
