CHARLOTTE, N.C. (News Release) — While running a quick errand after dinner, Johnny Miller of Sparta decided to try his luck on a Powerball ticket and won a $100,000 prize.
“I am the happiest man in the world,” he said Thursday as he claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
Miller purchased his winning ticket from the Circle K on Sunset Road in Charlotte.
“I had supper at the Waffle House,” he recalled. “Then I walked over there and got a couple of sodas for the next day and I said, ‘Sell me one of those Powerball winning tickets,’ and the cashier said, ‘I’ll try my best!’”
