Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man said he wouldn't have won a $10 million prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket if he hadn't run low on gas while on his way to buy a completely different ticket.
Allen Boger, of Denver, told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he was on his way to buy a specific $20 scratch-off lottery ticket from his preferred retailer when the low-fuel light came on in his Chevy Silverado truck about a mile from home.
