A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge nearly a day after his family thought he had died. Officials said the unidentified man woke up Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called an undertaker to pick him up and take him to the morgue after an asthma attack. But a day after the man was put in the locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone yelling for help. They thought it was a ghost. The man was freed only after the police were called. The terrified man was taken to a nearby hospital and later discharged after doctors deemed him a little chilly but stable. His family was informed that he was alive during a family meeting to make funeral arrangements.
A Charlotte, North Carolina, family has come up big in the lottery - three times. Kimberly McCauley won $100,000 this month playing a new instant-scratch off game called "10X the Money." McCauley's mother, Amy, is from Fort Mill, South Carolina, and won more than $160,000 in the "Carolina Cash 5" in the North Carolina Education Lottery in 2007. But the family's big win came in 1991, when McCauley's mother won $15.5 million in the New York Lotto. Kimberly McCauley says she thought her mom had all the lottery luck, so she's overwhelmed with the $100,000 win.
