A couple friends and I have a podcast where we come up with movie plots based on ordinary objects, and all three of us often misremember episodes we've done thinking they're movies we watched.

My cat is exactly like this. She seems so puzzled as to why I would ever go in there. Then after I'm done, she likes to go in and watch water pool and run down the drain.

Sort of. In 1984, Phyllis Penzo worked at a pizzeria and Officer Robert Cunningham suggested splitting a lottery ticket in lieu of a tip. Penzo actually forgot about it, but Cunningham won $6 million and honored their agreement. The film came out in 1994, so it was almost certainly inspired by the story (I didn't find a definitive answer in my incredibly brief search).

The woman pictured in OP's post is Tonda Dickerson, who was a waitress at Waffle House in Florida in 1999. She was tipped the lottery ticket, and everything in the image appears to be true.

She didn't even buy that lottery ticket. All that trouble was foisted upon her because someone else gave her the ticket. Imagine you're minding your own business, and then someone gives you a lottery ticket and your whole life gets turned upside down. It's crazy to think that It Could Happen to You.

Did we ever get more purple petunias, though? I would be interested in very purple petunias.

Also, a plane gliding to a landing still needs a pretty large, clear area to touchdown and come to a stop safely. Helicopters landing using autorotation need far less space.
