Jerry Hicks, a master carpenter, stumbled upon a $20 bill which he used to buy a scratch-off ticket, ultimately winning $1 million from it.
Hicks revealed that he didn’t get the specific ticket he originally wanted, leading him to instead purchase an Extreme Cash scratch-off which changed his life.
Upon claiming his prize, Hicks opted for a lump sum of $600,000, and after taxes, he took home $429,007, marking a significant windfall after many years of hard work.
The win enables Hicks to support his children, retire after 56 years in carpentry, and enjoy some leisure, starting with a feast at Golden Corral.
