Those Fortune Cookies Can Lead To Lottery Wins - Sorta

Most fortune cookies give you some sort of faux wisdom, then throw in some “lucky numbers” for good measure. But has anyone ever won big by putting a fortune cookie to the test? A New Jersey man said a fortune cookie led to his winning a lottery prize of $1,000 a week for life. But before you visit all the Chinese restaurants in your area hoping to retire early, the fortune cookie in question recommends no numbers, lucky or otherwise. The New Jersey Lottery Commission says the player opened up a fortune cookie from a Chinese restaurant and received the message: "Believe in miracles." Taking that to be a sign from...somewhere, the player then bought a Cash4Life ticket from the Jackpocket app and discovered his fortune cookie was correct, as he matched all five white balls in the drawing, earning a prize of $1,000 a year for life. As for how he’ll spend his windfall, the anonymous winner said he plans to use his winnings to balance his finances and plan for retirement. And all the eggrolls he can eat, we’re guessing.
