A man made a run to Walmart in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and came home $100,000 richer.
Michael Buck told North Carolina Education Lottery officials that a store employee convinced him to buy a ticket for the record $2.04 billion Powerball drawing. “The girl at the pharmacy told me they sold Powerball tickets at customer service,” NC Education Lottery quoted the 62-year-old as saying. “I told her, ‘If I win, I’ll come back and buy you a car.
Buck’s $3 investment in a Quick Pick ticket earned him $71,017 after federal and state taxes. Buck works as a solutions architect, according to lottery officials. He said he plans to use a large portion of the money to boost his retirement. Buck told lottery officials he usually only plays when the jackpot goes over $500 million, and he said he didn’t know how to react when he realized he had won. “I kind of just walked around the house a little bit. I was shaking,” Buck said.
