Albany, N.Y. -
A New York man has realized the ultimate no-win scenario.

Last week, a group of his co-workers asked him to get in on their Mega Millions ticket-buying group, as they often do. This time, the man said, he wasn't feeling lucky--he was out.

They asked him one more time. No, thanks, he said, again.

You probably know where this story is going.

ABC News has more on the unluckiest man in America--and what ordinary people from all walks of life would do with a mega-sized lottery jackpot.
