This Florida man happens to be extremely lucky.

Curtis Fuller bought a scratch-off ticket from First Coast Energy in Jacksonville a few days after both of the family cars broke down, and they found themselves without vehicles.

"My wife's car broke down a few days ago and two days after that my truck broke down," Fuller said.

Fuller decided to just take a chance and purchase a scratch off ticket. It turns out that scratch off ticket won him $1 million, UPI reports.

"In addition to buying a new house, this money will help us purchase two new vehicles," he said.

Fuller's good luck comes as a new survery revealed some have won millions in lotteries with the help of fortune cookies.

According to OpenFortune, a media company that distributes fortune cookies throughout the US, 146 lottery winners between 2004 and 2021 have scored more than $400 million by playing the numbers on the strip of paper in their treat.

More surprising, the bulk of winners actually took home at least six figures. According to the survey, 93% earned more than $100,000 each.
