HUNTERSVILLE, NC A Florida man relocating to North Carolina said he is one step closer to buying a home in Huntersville thanks to a lucky fortune cookie.
Ernesto Sorzano, who recently bought a winning Powerball ticket at the 7-Eleven on Sam Furr Road in Huntersville, said the numbers that earned him a $500,000 lottery win came from the cellophane wrapped cookie tucked in with an order of Chinese take-out fried rice and shrimp. That was a good investment, Sorzano told North Carolina Education Lottery officials in Raleigh.
