When a Colorado man won millions in the state’s lottery, he made some unusual purchases.
Waldemar “Bud” Tasch was on a backpacking trip in the wilderness with his dog when his winning number was called, the Colorado Lotto+ When he came home, he found that he won a $5,067,041 jackpot.
Rather than take monthly checks, he took the cash option, meaning that Tasch brought home $2,533,520. His first move after the win was to buy himself a watermelon — and buy his wife some flowers.
