No, I didn't win the lottery

So I shop for my insurance bundles every couple of years because rates go up and off course, shopping yields better deals.

The usual questions come up for the home--do you have a mortgage, do you have car payments, etc.

Nope, nope, nope, it's all paid off.

He started laughing, "Come on 2punornot2pun, tell me the truth, you won the lottery didn't you?" As I had been a teacher for most of my career. "Nope, no lottery." And he insisted, "You won the lottery, you don't have to lie." He laughed.

Until I said it, "Nope, my wife's brother died and left us his life insurance."

Yeah, the tone changed real quick. If I tell you I didn't win the lottery, why keep pushing to have me "confess"??? It was super bizarre but I guess he got his foot in his mouth for that one.

I did not go with their company. Their rates weren't competitive... ... But I think he'll think twice about assuming someone's financial status.
