And recently, he did, winning $50,000.
Isam purchased a $5 Super Crossword scratch-off ticket from his usual spot, 7-Eleven on Main Avenue in Clifton, and thought he had won $50.
“Please cash my $50 ticket so I can buy my coffee," he told the cashier.
The retailer, however, replied that he wouldn't be able to because Isam won $50,000. Isam's jaw dropped. He was in a state of shock and couldn't believe what he was hearing.
This was his first big win.

When Fayza saw the evidence, she was happily surprised.
The couple plans on giving each of their children and grandchildren some of the winnings and investing the rest in bonds.
