RALEIGH – If Thursday had been a typical morning for Charles Browne of Hendersonville, he would not have ended up on a 500-mile round trip to Raleigh to collect a $1 million lottery prize.
Browne typically begins his day with a stop at Norm’s Minit Mart on Kanuga Road in Hendersonville where he gets a Red Bull and his favorite lottery ticket.
“I will usually play Extreme Cash,” Browne said. “They were out of it so I said let’s go with my second favorite game and that’s how I ended up with the $1 million ticket.”
