Leah Alderman has to thank the spirit of her grandma for her recent lotto win. The Cumberland, Maryland woman spotted a Ruby Riches scratch off card and decided to pick one up, thinking of her grandma Ruby, who died when Leah was a teenager.

As she was preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, Leah scratched the card and discovered she was $30-thousand richer. “I was shaking when I signed the ticket,” Leah adds. “This is awesome!”

Leah and her fiancé are planning on using their cash to continue the restoration of their dream house. They’re also considering using some of the cash to get married.

A man in India says he’s learned his lesson: make sure you ask for your doctor’s credentials. If not, you might be like this 60-year-old farmer who allowed what he calls a “quack” doctor to insert a metal cup in his back door, all in the name of curing a stomach ache.

After the eight-inch cup failed to do the trick, the man’s family took the farmer to an actual doctor who with the help of an x-ray saw the cup. It took an hour-in-a-half in surgery, but the cup was successfully removed.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

If you want to get away with stealing a hot car, you’ve gotta ACT like someone who’d drive a hot car.

A 38-year-old guy named Israel Rangel wandered into a Ferrari and Maserati dealership in Costa Mesa, California last month, and he saw a Ferrari 458 Spider in their garage for service . . . with the keys on the seat.

So . . . he stole it.

Then, about two weeks later, Israel pulled into a Shell station . . . and started asking people there if he could get a little money for gas.  And that was VERY suspicious, considering the Ferrari 458 Spiders start at about $230,000 . . . and this particular one was worth closer to $300,000.

So someone called the cops, and they found Israel hiding in some bushes behind a Holiday Inn nearby and arrested him.  He was charged with felony vehicle theft and several other charges as well.

The Ferrari belonged to a woman named Susan Friedman, and Israel had trashed it so badly that her insurance company declared it a total loss.  But don’t cry for her . . . she used the settlement to buy herself a new 2018 Lamborghini Huracan.

Anthony Breslin was sent to pick up cattle by his dad. It’s unclear if the 18-year-old Irish teen actually did find any cows, but we do know Breslin drove his family tractor into the town of Derry. When police pulled him over, Breslin admitted he had gone to Derry to look for women. He was hit with a $67 fine and it’s probably safe to assume he didn’t meet his soulmate.
