Some people are just born lucky. It seems like no matter where they go or what they do, good fortune seems to find them. A Rochelle, IL, man found himself in a very lucky spot not too long ago. But according to him, the luck came from an unexpected encounter with his grandmother. The unidentified man ran into his grandmother at a Road Ranger gas station during his lunch break on October 11. “The $240 million jackpot drawing was that night, but I work late, so I took a quick lunch break to grab a ticket and try my luck,” he told the Illinois Lottery. His ticket matched all five numbers in the Powerball drawing, winning the $1,000,000 prize. “When I arrived at the store, I saw a car that looked just like my grandma’s,” the winner said. “And guess what? It was her car, and she was right by the cash register, checking out.” Seeing His Grandmother Made The Lottery Winner Feel Lucky As soon as his grandmother saw him, she got very excited. “She ran over and gave me a hug,” he said. “I scanned the ticket, and it said ‘You won $1,000,004.’ I didn’t believe it, so I scanned it again. That’s when I started screaming and hyperventilating,” the man said. As soon as he won, his first call was to his lucky granny. “I instantly called my grandma, and her first response was, ‘Are you sure you won?’” he said. “I checked the numbers manually online, and everything matched—except the Powerball.” And just like any good grandson would, the new millionaire plans to share some of his lottery winnings with his grandmother. “I’m definitely sharing some of this with my grandma. She’s my good luck charm!” he said. “And I’m going to buy a brand-new car, too.” This story’s featured image is by Juliana Yamada / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images.

The legendary Dick Van Dyke isn’t the only comedian in the family. His brother, the late Jerry Van Dyke also made millions laugh. He’s probably best known for his role as Luther Van Dam, the lovable assistant coach on the 1990s sitcom Coach, starring Craig T. Nelson. Jerry died in 2018 from congestive heart failure at age 86. Seven years later, his brother misses him tremendously. According to People, Dick opened up about his brother during a recent Vandy High Tea at his Malibu home. “The thing about Jerry, I could do comedy. You hand me a comedy, and I could do it. Jerry was funny inside. He couldn’t help it. I could do comedy. He was comedy,” Dick said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dick Van Dyke by Alaura Imagery & Design (@alauravandyke) Jerry Van Dyke Always Made His Big Brother Laugh Dick Van Dyke said the moment Jerry Van Dyke entered the world, he was funny. “Jerry was funny from the day he was born, he broke me up,” Dick said. “I tried so hard to get him a series, but they wouldn’t go for it.” Dick shared a family story about growing up and how Jerry could crack him up no matter what they were doing. “Jerry said something funny and I started to laugh, but our faces were frozen stiff. We couldn’t have any expression, so we started laughing,” Dick said. “It was the worst. God, we had tears running down our cheeks. I’ll never forget it. It’s the hardest I ever laughed in my life. He could make me laugh.” The Van Dyke brothers worked together on several projects during their careers, including The Dick Van Dyke Show and Temperatures Rising. Their last appearance was in a 2015 episode of The Middle when they played siblings. At the time, the pair joked in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “We are becoming closer,” Jerry told the outlet. “I’m really getting to know him better at this age.” “It’s because we have been working together more,” Dick added. “The nicer he is to me, the more I think he thinks I’m going to die,” Jerry said in a mic drop joke.
