North Carolina Fishing Boat Captain Wins $1 Million Lottery Prize After Stopping for Drink
Austin Eubank told the North Carolina Education Lottery he "doesn't normally play," but on Tuesday he took a chance.
A North Carolina fishing boat captain who was feeling lucky won $1 million in the lottery after he stopped at a store for a drink.
Austin Eubank told the North Carolina Education Lottery he "doesn't normally play," but on Tuesday he took a chance.
Thank God he did.
As Eubank scratched the ticket in the parking lot, he couldn't believe his eyes: He'd won $1 million.
“It’s fun to dream about, but you never expect it to you happen to you,” he said.
Eubank, who chose to take home a lump sum of $600,000, said he only has one purchase he absolutely has to make: a fishing pole for his son.
“We are a family who loves to fish,” his wife, Margaret Eubank, said.
