WWII vet wins $300,000 lottery for 94th birthday

A World War II veteran receiving the birthday present of a lifetime when he won $300,000 in the Michigan Lottery.

Ervin Smolinski’s daughter-in-law bought the winning ticket and gave it to the 94-year-old on his birthday. He said getting the ticket is part of an inside joke with his family.

“Every month, I buy some instant tickets and send them as gifts to family members who have birthdays that month,” Smolinski reportedly said. “It’s turned into a bit of a tradition, and now everyone sends me scratch offs and chocolate for my birthday.”

The South Branch veteran said he had four Double Bonus Cashword tickets and the big winner was the first one he scratched off.

“I’ve seen a lot in my life, and I don’t get worked up easily. I think my son-in-law was more worked up than I was,” Smoliski said of his reaction to the winner.

The 94-year-old said winning the $300,000 won’t change much of his lifestyle.

“I’m pretty frugal, I always shop sales and take care of my money and that won’t change,” he said. “The only thing that will change is I won’t have as much stress in my life worrying about money.”

The 15 Cheapest Cars to Insure in 2015 (Automobil Insurance) There's a lot to take into account when buying a new vehicle. How it feels and looks is important, but how much it costs -- including fuel consumption, potential resale value, and monthly auto insurance premium -- is usually the deal breaker. To help buyers determine which cars are truly the cheapest, Cheapism.com turned to a recent comparison of insurance rates for more than 1,500 vehicles. This list of the 15 cheapest cars to insure reflects the annual cost of full coverage by six major insurers for a 40-year-old male driver with good credit, a clean record and a 12-mile commute in 10 ZIP codes in each state. Unsurprisingly, family vehicles that are typically driven by cautious parents are cheaper to insure than flashy sports cars, but other affordable models may not be what you expect. Jeep Wrangler Sport: $1,134 a Year. The least expensive standard model Wrangler on the market, this two-door, 4x4 SUV is notable for its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine and iconic looks. This model also recently ranked first in terms of resale value for compact SUVs. (It retains 57.4 percent of its original list price of $23,500 after five years.) Jeep Patriot Sport (2WD): $1,136 a Year. Cheaper (starting at $16,895) and roomier than a Wrangler, the two-wheel-drive Jeep Patriot is better suited for family driving than off-roading. Cruise control and 16-inch wheels are standard, but the Sport package lacks power accessories and air conditioning. Car site Edmunds.com asserts there are better options for consumers than the Patriot, citing drawbacks such as insufficient storage space, disappointing ride quality, and lackluster basic options. Dodge Grand Caravan SE Plus: $1,162 a Year. The top-ranking minivan on the list, the Dodge Grand Caravan carries a mixed reputation but offers some features consumers may like. The second and third rows of seats can be laid flush with the floor, creating plenty of cargo space and the rear seats can be flipped to face the back for tailgating. The SE Plus starts at $25,245; the cheapest trim package, the AVP, starts at $21,795. This is the last year the Caravan will be available; Dodge is dropping it from the lineup.
