Powerball Lottery winner credits a fortune cookie number game

Tweet

I have heard of stories where lottery winners use their numbers based on the numbers from the birthdate of their relatives. In the case of Charles W. Jackson Junior, 66, who lives in Cumberland County North Carolina, he credits his granddaughter for going with him to a Vietnamese restaurant to have a meal with him. Charles used the numbers of a fortune cookie from the Vietnamese restaurant when he bought a Powerball ticket at a grocery store in Hope Mills. I could imagine the joy that Charles received when he looked up on the internet that he won $344.6 million dollars by matching all of the numbers on the ticket. After paying his taxes to the Federal and State Government, he ended up with a total of $223 million dollars. Charles who is a retiree will donate a large portion of his winnings to charity, take a vacation to Vietnam with his wife and donate $1 million dollars to his brother as part of a deal that whoever won a huge lottery prize, one of them would get a share of the winnings.
