Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start your day on a positive note. Awesome sauce. Right
around six to ten weekday mornings with the B ninety
three Morning Show. This one goes out to one lucky
teacher who uh just scored the most unexpected end of
school year bonus ever, oh really a little bit delayed.
A teacher in New Jersey was gifted a stack of

(00:20):
thank you presents from parents, pretty normal for the last
week of school. There were cards, There was you know,
the coffee mug, and tucked in a pile, there was
a ten dollars lottery scratch off called the Sure Thing. Okay,
nice gesture, right, yeah, I think so. It was a
ten dollars ticket and it turned out to be worth
five hundred thousand dollars half a million bucks. Oh what

(00:42):
do you do at that point? Do you? Heurs? Take
a really nice vacation. Here's the kicker. The teacher left
the ticket in her car for weeks without even checking
on it. She hadn't scratched it off, she hadn't done anything.
It just kind of sat in the back of her car.
She said. It probably wasn't very smart of me. I've
been driving around with my puppy and he definitely could

(01:03):
have shredded it. Holy cow. Imagine losing half a million
to a goldener tree for snack break. No, Luckily, the
tickets survived the summer chaos, and the teacher eventually scratched it,
discovering it was one of the game's top prize winners.
Oh my gosh. No word yet on how she's going
to spend the money, but we're guessing it beats like,

(01:27):
I don't know, a gift card and a coffee mug. Yeah,
she's a teacher too, so she's a great human being.
So she's probably gonna spend some of it on our kids. Yeah,
school supplies for everybody, probably, I mean, that's the greatness
of teachers. Mm hmm. So today's Awesome Sauce goes out
to the parents who show their appreciation, the teachers who
so so deserve it, and that one very good boy

(01:50):
who did not eat the winning ticket. One heck of
a thank you note five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, and
now all of her incoming students' parents are like, great,
I got her an apple. Here's some chocolate. Start your
day on a positive note. Awesome saw six ten weekday
