In an unexpected turn of events, a hungry man's impromptu stop for a chicken meal at a North Carolina Food Lion transformed into a substantial win when he snagged a noteworthy prize from a scratch-off game. Huntersville resident Kevin Prast, whose decision to indulge in some chicken resulted in a windfall, claimed his remarkable $100,000 prize at the lottery headquarters in Raleigh on Friday.

"I walked in for chicken and walked out with lobster," Prast humorously remarked, encapsulating the serendipity of the moment. Reflecting on his good fortune, he added, "Not a bad day."

The winning ticket, a $10 Million Spectacular scratch-off game, was purchased at the Food Lion on Mount Holly-Huntersville Road in Charlotte. Despite facing odds of 1 in 813,895, Prast defied the probabilities and found himself the lucky recipient of a significant prize.

Describing the decision to purchase the $50 scratch-off ticket as a last-minute whim, Prast shared, "It was just a fluke thing. It happened on a whim." Expressing the disbelief many feel in such situations, he added, "You hear about this, but you don't ever think it's going to happen to you."

After taxes, Prast walked away with $71,514, a substantial sum that opens doors to exciting possibilities. Among his plans for the windfall is a tropical island vacation, adding a touch of paradise to his unexpected stroke of luck.
