1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up and win big!’ Scratched into the foggy glass was an ominous message. Since then, every full tank seems to bring a strange encounter or lucky break for those who heed the sign’s cryptic advice. One day, an elderly neighbor pulled in, grumbling about his car needing gas. After filling up, he looked at the mirror and exclaimed, 'I won’t believe it until I retire!' Lo and behold, his luck changed—he found a long-lost relative worth millions. Now everyone jokes that Valero must be owned by a retired person.'
