A resident of Lee County, Florida, listened to the cookie prediction and hit the jackpot. The information portal UPI reports.
Ernesto Sorzano ordered homemade shrimp fried rice from a Chinese restaurant and received fortune cookies as a bonus. Inside was a combination of numbers. The man decided that these numbers would bring him good luck and used them in the Powerball draw.
Sorzano's intuition did not disappoint: thanks to the numbers from the cookies, he became rich by $ 500,000 (37 million rubles). The winner plans to move to Huntersville, North Carolina and use the money he won to buy a house there.
Earlier it was reported about a US resident who used fortune cookie numbers in the lottery and hit the jackpot. The man plans to spend the money on closing a loan, buying a new house and helping his relatives.
