**BREAKING: NORTH CAROLINA MAN’S LUCKY STREAK CONTINUES TO DEFY ODDS, BAFFLE EXPERTS**
In a stunning turn of events that has left mathematicians and lottery officials scratching their heads, a North Carolina man has done the unthinkable – he’s won BIG. TWICE.
According to sources, 32-year-old Bubba Jenkins of rural Rockingham County purchased a scratch-off ticket on a whim last week and matched all the numbers to win a cool $500. But, in a move that can only be described as “bold” or “utterly insane,” Jenkins decided to take a chance and buy another ticket.
And then another. And another. Okay, fine – he bought just one more ticket, but it was a DOOZY.
“I just had a feelin’!” Jenkins exclaimed in an exclusive interview, beaming with pride. “I mean, who needs a 1 in 11,688,053 chance of winning when you can just buy another ticket, right?”
As it turns out, Jenkins’ gut instinct was spot on. His second ticket revealed a prize of a staggering $1 MILLION DOLLARS!
“I near about fainted,” Jenkins recalled, still visibly shaken. “I had to call my wife, my mom, and my buddy Jimmy to make sure I wasn’t dreamin’!”
The lucky winner plans to use his newfound fortune to pay off his truck loan, buy a new fishing boat, and invest in a chain of “Bubba’s BBQ Shack” restaurants.
When asked about his next move, Jenkins grinned mischievously and said, “I’m fixin’ to buy a whole bunch more lottery tickets, that’s what I’m gonna do!”
The North Carolina Lottery Commission has issued a statement urging Jenkins to “please, for the love of all things sane, consider investing in a diversified portfolio” – but Jenkins just winked and said, “Don’t you worry ’bout me, I’m on a roll!”
