This fortune cookie fulfilled its name.
Ernesto Sorzano’s Chinese takeaway dinner bore fruit when he played the game of fortune luck on a North Carolina Powerball ticket, according to the UPI.
Sorzano said he used the numbers when he bought a $ 3 ticket to be able to play, and they ended up matching four of the winners, awarding him $ 500,000.
The Florida resident, who is in the process of moving to Huntersville, North Carolina, told the news agency that he will use his profits to buy a new home there.
“It was a good investment,” Sorzano said of his rice and prawn dinner, as well as dessert cookies.
“Amazing. I am very happy that my dreams come true, ”he said.
Sorzano took away $ 353,751 after taxes Monday, according to the report.
The odds of winning a Powerball prize are 1 in 292 million, according to lottery officials.
