"April 8 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man waiting at a lottery office to claim a $50,000 prize received a Keno ticket as a birthday gift from his daughter -- and won another $100,000.
Carthage resident Dennis Parks told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he was at the lottery's Greensboro Regional Office & Claim Center to collect a $50,000 prize from a Merry Multiplier scratch-off ticket when his daughter, who accompanied him on the trip, bought him a Keno ticket.
"She bought the ticket for me for my birthday," Parks said. "It was my 81st birthday on Monday."
The Keno ticket turned out to be a $100,000 winner.
"It was just my day I guess," he said.
Parks said his dual prizes will go toward paying bills and taking a family trip to Ohio."
This guy wins 150 g's and the first thing that pops into his head is a trip to Ohio?
Toledo is nice this time of year.
