"Germany’s biggest individual lottery winner had no time to celebrate after becoming 20.4 million euros ($27 million) richer because he was too worried about being late for work.
When the salesman, who was not identified by WestLotto, arrived on Thursday to buy his weekly lottery ticket at a shop in the industrial Ruhr area he was told last week’s 12-euro ticket that he hadn’t bothered to check had won the jackpot.

The man’s reaction left the lottery operator dumbfounded.

“After he was told he had won the jackpot, he said he didn’t have time to chat because he would get into trouble with his boss,” a lottery spokesman in the western city of Muenster said. Instead, he rushed off to catch a bus to work.

There were few details about the lucky man, a pigeon-lover in his 30s, except that he planned to trade in his rented apartment for something a little bigger in the country. It was not known if he would stay on in his job as a salesman."
There's German punctuality for ya!

Oh, man. That's weird. I could see Bert doing that.
