Jerry Hicks, a master carpenter from Banner Elk, found a $20 bill in the parking lot of the store, he said in a news release. He spent it on a scratch-off lottery ticket β and won $1 million.
Hicks used the money to buy an Extreme Cash scratch-off, according to the release.
"They actually didn't have the ticket I was looking for so I bought that one instead," he said.
Hicks claimed his prize on Friday at the North Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters. He chose to receive the prize as a lump sum of $600,000 instead of as an annuity over 20 years, according to the release.
After taxes, Hicks took home $429,007, according to the lottery.
Hicks plans to use the money to help his children and retire as a carpenter after 56 years, the release says.
But before that, Hicks wants to enjoy his win.
"We are going to head straight to Golden Corral and eat everything they've got," he said.

Really tho Golden Corral is the worst slop imaginable. I don't even hate cheap buffets, cheap Asian buffets with spaghetti noodle lo mein and iffy egg rolls are some of my favorite. Golden Corral is darn near inedible though.
