CHICAGO (WBBMNEWSRADIO) -- A Franklin Park woman said everyone needs to hear about her experience at Target.
Nicole Domitro was at a Target store with her 3-month-old daughter on Mother's Day. They were in the baby aisle when a man approached, someone who she said looked like a teenager.
Domitro said her guard went up immediately.
"You kind of are on alert whenever someone is approaching you - in the baby aisle, with no kids," she said.
"I was like are you kidding me? Is this real? I thought I was on a skit for a show - I was like maybe Ellen is hiding around here," Domitro said.
Franco told her he once worked in a Target and said he had to get out of Milwaukee because of all the people approaching him. He said his parents were living in hotels. Domitro said she gratefully accepted the gift and he thanked her. The two took a picture together that she later posted online.
She said he told her he tried to give a gift card to someone else, and they refused it, suspecting something was fishy.
Domitro later Googled him and said it was definitely the same guy who won the Powerball jackpot.
She said there should be more Manuel Franco’s in the world.
