North Carolina Woman Wins Million Dollar Powerball Prize During Labor Day Weekend at Beach
In a shocking turn of events, a woman from North Carolina has struck in richer than rich on the beach. The woman, who’s name is being withheld for privacy reasons, had just been taking a weekend off at her favorite beach spot when luck struck her right in the gut.
According to sources, she had just popped into a convenience store to grab some suntan lotion and maybe a snack when she noticed a sign advertising the Powerball jackpot was being held. Like any normal person, she decided to spend a dollar and have a little fun with the hopeful thought of that cash prize. And, lo and behold, her one dollar investment paid off! She left that convenience store not a dollar richer, but a million dollars richer!
It’s no secret that the odds of winning the Powerball are one in 292.2 million. So, it’s safe to say that this lady must have some sort of superpower or magical spell cast upon her. We would like to know what her secret is but she has refused to make any statements about her sudden change of fortune.
Perhaps her superpower is the ability to look beyond the overwhelming statistics and believe in the possibility. Or maybe she’s actually a genie that’s been bottled up in that store for years just waiting for the right individual to come along to attain her wishes. Really, anything is possible.
The lady has decided to take the lump sum option, which means that she’ll walk away with a cool $600,000 after taxes. It’s no secret that this is a life-changing amount of money. Imagine all the endless possibilities for vacations, property, or maybe a world-wide private jet tour.
Of course, with every rainbow-colored silver lining, there are detractors. We’ll save you the trouble of a google search: the top ten negative comments we’ve seen so far are: “She was probably a secret mathematician that cracked the code of winning,” “I’ve been playing the lottery for decades and never won, this lady deserves nothing,” and “I can’t believe I’m still stuck at my 9-5 job while people win millions off a single ticket.”
To all the haters out there, we say, keep on dreaming. Dreams can come true, folks. Take this lady for an example.
We’re thrilled for this lucky North Carolinian and we’re crossing our fingers for the next jackpot winner to be one of us. And, hey, if we do win, we’ll be sure to let you know if we were also bitten by a radioactive spider or if it was just destiny playing its hand.
