June 20 (UPI) — A North Carolina woman predicted a lottery jackpot was in her future just before winning $200,000 from a scratch-off ticket.
Hubert resident Sylvia Wells told North Carolina Education Lottery officials she voiced her prediction to her husband just before they bought a pair of scratch-off tickets from the Handy Mart on Western Boulevard in Jacksonville.
“We bought his favorite ticket and my favorite ticket,” she said.
Her husband’s selection, a Diamond 10X ticket, turned out to be a $200,000 winner.
“I was like, ‘I told you we were going to do it,'” Wells recalled saying. “We did it.”
Wells said the winnings will go toward buying some land.
