A lucky punter has scooped a $50,000 lottery prize after accidentally putting too much money into a vending machine and ending up with a winning ticket.
The winner, Carlos Medina, purchased the prize ticket in the city of Laurel, in the US state of Maryland.
A statement obtained from the Maryland Lottery on Wednesday, said the auto business employee had only meant to buy $20 (£6.25) worth of tickets.
