Montreal, Quebec-William Murphy had fifty-six cents in the bank, lived in a small room, and was unemployed. But, he had one thing going for him. He was honest. And that honesty paid off for him yesterday. He received a$1.2-million check for returning a lost lottery ticket to the owner.
Last Sunday morning, Murphy found a wallet while he was walking down the street. He picked it up and looked inside. He found ID cards, $18.00, and six lottery tickets. He checked the fication and saw that the wallet belonged to Mr. Jean- Guy Lavigueur.
He put the wallet in the mailbox but he kept the lottery tickets. He thought, "Maybe, I’ll win $10.00 or something."
Later that evening, he checked the newspaper. He had the winning lottery ticket and it was worth $ 7,650,267.00. He was so surprised and almost had a heart attack!
For a minute, he thought about keeping the ticket but then decided to return it to Mr. Lavigueur. He remembered the address from the ID cards so he went to the house and knocked on the door.
Yves, Jean - Guy’s French-speaking son answered the door. William tried to tell him about the lottery ticket but Yves didn’t understand a word of English. Yves told him to go away in French. Then, he closed the door in William’s face.
The next night, William returned with a bilingual friend. This time, Jean - Guy opened the door. William gave him the ticket and said, "You am a millionaire! This is your ticket and it’s worth over $ 7 million."
Jean- Guy said, "You are an honest man. I’m giving you a $ 1.2-million-reward."
Both men are very happy. Jean - Guy is going to share the money with his family. They are going to buy a new house.
William Murphy is going to go skiing in Vancouver.
