Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A man who collected a $500,000 Powerball prize in North Carolina said his lucky lottery numbers came from an unusual source: a fortune cookie.
Ernesto Sorzano of Estero, Fla., told North Carolina Education Lottery officials the Powerball ticket he bought from the 7-Eleven store in Huntersville, N.C., bore a set of numbers that he copied from a fortune cookie that came with his recent Chinese take-out.
