We all know it: It's always frustrating when the clerk gets your order wrong. Until, of course, the day that it's not:

An Iowa man brought home a $1 million lottery prize -- after the clerk made a mistake printing his tickets.

Josh Buster, a 40-year-old chef from West Burlington, asked for five "easy-pick" plays for the April 15 Mega Millions drawing at a convenience store, according to a news release from the Iowa Lottery.

But Buster says that the clerk initially printed just one play, and then printed the four remaining plays on a separate ticket.

"I feel like that changed the numbers that I would have gotten if he had put them all on one instead of making that mistake," Buster said...

Winning the lottery is an absolute mind-bender of an event in and of itself:

But imagine the dopamine hit you get when you realize you only won the lottery because the nice man at the gas station messed your ticket up:

And what does this very lucky Iowa fellow plan to do with his loot?

The winning chef will use his prize money to pay off his car, pay off his mother's mortgage, and save for his retirement.

Good man!
