DURHAM, North Carolina (WXII) — A man has his hair cut to thank for a big lottery win.
Oscar Rosales was having a normal Saturday until a $20 scratch-off won him a $100,000 prize. After his trim, he needed cash to pay his barber so he stopped at Lighthouse Food Mart on Holloway Street in Durham.
He added a $20 Ruby Red 7’s scratch-off during his stop.
“Something just told me to buy that so I went for it,” Rosales recalled.
He then paid his barber and went to his truck to scratch his ticket.
Rosales arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to claim his prize and, after taxes, took home $71,756.
“This will help me complete some goals that I have,” he said. “It’s definitely going to help.”
