Local man Derek Johnson is celebrating what he calls 'basically breaking even' after spending approximately $15,000 on lottery tickets over the past ten years and finally hitting a $5 jackpot last Tuesday. 'I've always said you've got to be in it to win it,' Johnson told reporters while purchasing another ticket with his winnings. Financial experts have calculated that Johnson's ROI is approximately -99.97%, which they note is 'actually better than most lottery players.' Johnson remains undeterred, explaining his strategy of buying tickets from different gas stations based on how lucky he feels that day. 'The big one is coming,' Johnson insisted. 'I can feel it in my bones – or maybe that's just the arthritis from working overtime to fund my ticket purchases.'
