After finding a $20 note lying on the ground, Jerry Hicks, a carpenter from North Carolina, USA, bought a ticket that earned him a $1 million lottery
Hicks, found the fated bill lying outside a Speedway convenience store on October 22, near Boone, North Carolina. The master carpenter from Banner Elks then used it to buy an Extreme Cash scratch-off ticket.
In a press release, he said,“They actually didn’t have the ticket I was looking for so I bought that one instead.” However, this twist of fate turned out to be extremely lucky for him as he hit the jackpot with a $1 million lottery.
Hicks has plans for his family, and he wants to use the winning amount to help out his children and retire after working as a carpenter for 56 years.
