A North Carolina man has turned an ordinary lunch break into a life-changing windfall after winning a staggering $2 million in the state's lottery. The incredible stroke of luck came when he purchased a bologna sandwich at a local store—a decision that led to the jackpot.
The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, bought the sandwich at a Speedway convenience store in Greensboro. Alongside his meal, he picked up a $20 Black Titanium scratch-off ticket—a seemingly small purchase that would soon make him a millionaire.
"I couldn't believe it at first," the winner later told lottery officials. "I scratched the ticket right there in the store, and when I saw the numbers, my hands started shaking."
After state and federal taxes, the lucky man took home approximately $1.4 million. He plans to use the money to pay off debts and invest in his family's future.
This isn't the first time a seemingly mundane decision has led to a massive lottery win. Earlier this year, another North Carolina resident won $1 million after buying a ticket with their morning coffee.
The Black Titanium game, which launched in December 2023, has already created several millionaires across the state. With top prizes still available, lottery officials are reminding players to check their tickets carefully—you never know when a simple sandwich run could change your life.
