Sorzano, who is moving to Huntersville, North Carolina, used the fortune cookie set of lucky numbers to buy a North Carolina Powerball lottery ticket.
According to North Carolina lottery officials, Sorzano’s numbers matched four of the white balls, winning $ 50,000, but they say the prize skyrocketed to $ 500,000 because he bought a $ 3 power-play ticket.
According to lottery officials, the chances of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
“This was a good investment,” said Sorzano.
Sorzano, who is from Estero, Florida, took home $ 353,751 after taxes on Monday. The future North Carolina resident said he still doesn’t believe it and will use the money to buy a home in Huntersville.
“Unbelievable,” said Sorzano. “I am very happy that my dreams have come true.”
