A gas pump's broken receipt printer sends a North Carolina student inside, where he buys a $2 million Powerball ticket
The lottery's own write-up has the quotes, including what he plans to buy his father.
Bram Dunehew of Concord, North Carolina, a college student studying civil engineering, filled up his car on Friday, but the pump didn't print his receipt, so he went inside the store, the North Carolina Education Lottery says. While there he bought a $3 Powerball ticket.
In Saturday's Halloween drawing, the ticket matched all five white balls for $1 million, doubled to $2 million by the Power Play option. "It's crazy because I never would have even bought that ticket if the receipt printed outside," he said. He bought it at Sam's Mart on N.C. 49 in Harrisburg and took home $1,440,201 after federal and state tax withholding. He told the lottery he plans to buy his father a Cadillac and that "Halloween's now my favorite holiday."
