They call it a stroke of sheer luck.

In the United States, a man won a \$130,000 prize just a few days before turning 40.

Corey Hamilton, a resident of Clinton, North Carolina, said he stopped at a store on Southeast Boulevard where he purchased a lottery ticket. The next morning, around 3:30 a.m., he checked the draw results and discovered that he had won the jackpot worth \$130,000 (approximately PKR 36.5 million).

Hamilton expressed great joy over the win, saying the timing couldn’t have been better. “It came just at the right moment,” he said, adding that he will be celebrating his 40th birthday in the coming days.
