In Colorado, a homeless man gets a stoke of luck after winning half a million dollars on a lottery scratch off game.

61-year old Michael Engfors beat the odds to win from a lottery scratch ticket finally changing bad luck. Engfors became homeless six years ago after losing his job and getting a divorce, but now things have brightened for him.

Engfors bought the ten dollar scratch off game last Friday at a gas station in Aspen, Colorado. And, we all know the chances of winning even $20 on these lottery games is slim to none. But when Engfors scratched his game he was $500 thousand dollars richer.
