March 10 (UPI) — A North Carolina man’s prediction to his son came true when he scored $100,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket.
Efland resident Terry McCall told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he recently started to feel like a major windfall was in his future.
“I actually told my son two weeks ago, ‘I’m going to hit a big one soon,'” McCall said.
McCall’s prediction came true when a $30 Millionaire Bucks scratch-off ticket he bought from Graham Grocery on N.C 54 in Graham turned out to be a $100,000 winner.
“It was just my usual routine,” McCall said. “I go by that same store every day.”
McCall said Millionaire Bucks is his preferred ticket because it delivered him a nice early holiday gift last year.
“Earlier in December I hit $2,000 on that ticket,” he said.
McCall said his winnings will go toward paying bills and helping his family.
