A Fortune Cookie Helped an American Win the Lottery (3 photos)
Do you believe in astrologers and numerologists? Or maybe a fortune cookie is the best?
Here's a real story about how a cookie helped a North Carolina resident improve his financial situation quite a bit.
A guy went into a cafe and ordered Chinese food, and they gave him a fortune cookie as a gift.
The note said: "Don't miss your chance to win big."
John said that as soon as he saw the inscription, he also decided that it was a sign from above. Without wasting time, he bought a $5 ticket for the NC Education Lottery.
And imagine his surprise when the fortune in the cookie brought him a win of $200,000. After John paid all the taxes, he still had $143,000 left, which, you must admit, is also not bad.
As the lucky man himself said, this money will be enough for him to pay off his debts and buy a fishing boat.
But you shouldn't believe all the predictions :-)
