This guy must have been giving himself a right arse-kicking for buying the wrong lottery ticket.

Bob Sabo couldn't be bothered waiting in line for his weekly ticket...so he went to buy one from a vending machine — something he had never done before. But silly Bob, of Easton, Connecticut, messed up buying his usual ticket because he had forgotten his glasses.
