It's always nice to get money as a birthday gift, but how sweet would it be to win some big buck just in time for your birthday.

 

That's just what happened to Joseph Ciraolo of New Milford. Joe turned 31 on Tueday (Nov. 10th), but the day before, on Monday, he bought a lottery ticket that changed his life.

That’s because Joe won $100,000 in CT Lottery’s Jumbo Bucks instant game.

According to newtimes.com  Joe said, “I scratched the ticket and literally stopped in my tracks when I saw I won $100,000,”  He also told lottery officials “I high fived the dude behind the counter and quickly left the store. I went straight home and told my wife, ‘We just changed our life!’ Then I showed her the ticket. She just cried.”

Joe intends to pay off some bills and set up a college fund for his two kids with his winning. Happy Birthday Joe....That's some birthday present.
