NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man recovering from surgery has won $7 million off a lottery ticket tucked into his get-well card.

Joseph Amorese, of Easton, got the ticket from his father, who lives in the hamlet of Congers in Rockland County, New York.

Amorese had just undergone hernia surgery. A few scratches later on the "$7 million Golden Ticket," and he was feeling great.

"I scratched the ticket and it was a good thing I was already sitting down because I was shocked. I was — and still am — in complete disbelief," Amorese said.

1. Is the etiquette in this to give money to the person that bought the card?

A million dollars seems fair.

2. Of course, now that he's a 1%er, he doesn't care about others, right?

5. You tell me

3. This is why I never give lottery tickets as gifts.

I'd lose my mind if I gave away a jackpot.

4. I give them

as gifts to my kids. With the understanding that if they win big and don't share I will haunt their asses after I die.
