A wonderful story:

After completing two tours in Iraq, Sgt. Wayne Leyde won $1 million from a scratch-and-win lotto ticket on Tuesday.

Now that he's won, Leyde, a 26-year-old member of the Washington National Guard, says he's still going to volunteer to go back to Iraq for a third tour and won't spend any of the money in the meantime.

Later in the story:

"I was on my way out when the lady said, 'Do you have a lucky scratch coin?'"

"I said 'no, you gave me a dime and nickel back.'"

"She said 'no, try this,"' handing Leyde a penny.

I hope Sgt. Leyde keeps that penny in his pocket during his next tour of duty, and returns home safely. And in the unlikely event Hollywood executives read that story, perhaps they should consider making it into a movie instead of the preachy and predictable drivel like Stop Loss that we've come to expect.
