TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Lottery winner’s ticket mix-up turns into a cash windfall

We’ve all been there… winning $5 on a scratch ticket and hoping that when you cash it in it’s actually for $5 million and you just read it wrong.

Well something similar happened to this one Seattle couple recently. They bought a lottery ticket and thought they won $360. But when they went to cash it, they were told it was actually for $360,000! Obviously they were pretty shocked and excited at the same time. They said the first thing they did with the money was give their son and daughter-in-law a check for $10,000. They are about to be first time grandparent and wanted to help them out with the expenses that go with it.

Always great to see good people win the lottery.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called Soap Operas?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are they called Soap Operas?

One of the most popular forms of television… Soap Operas. Or watching “your stories”. Been around for decades. Your parents and grandparents I’m sure were obsessed. But why are they called Soap Operas?

The reason comes from way back in the day when they first started it was around World War II era and most of them were only on airing on radio. The TV versions didn’t come until later. All the advertising back then during the programs was coming from soap and detergent companies targeting women. Thus, the name “Soap Opera” was born and has stuck ever since.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: New England couple almost misses their island wedding, police boat saves the day

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: New England couple almost misses their island wedding, police boat saves the day

Your wedding day always comes with a few things you stress over. But imagine being this couple who almost missed their big moment on the island they were getting married on!

The wedding was happening right near Boston last Saturday on a place called Thompson Island, but the vows almost didn’t happen. 

The bride got the venue no problem, but it was the groom and groomsmen were waiting for the last ferry across when all the sudden the boat broke down!

Luckily the Boston Harbor Patrol was able to save the day and take the guys across over to the island. Phew!

An officer with the Boston Harbor Patrol used his boat to take them all across.  It turned out the DJ, florist, and wedding photographer all needed a ride too, so they hopped on as well.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Who invented cotton candy?

You had it at the circus, maybe at baseball or hockey games, your kids always beg for it… the stickiest of treats, cotton candy. The person who came up with this crazy idea might surprise you.

Cotton Candy’s inventor was a dentist! Back in 1897  Doctor William Morrison brought the idea to candy maker John Wharton, and together they created the sweet snack we all know and love.

Cotton Candy was first premiered in 1908 at the World’s Fair. At that time it only cost $.25 cents.
