She’s either a simpleton, liar, or the luckiest damn person to ever walk the face of the Earth.
A 75-year-old New York woman says she correctly matched five numbers in a Powerball drawing last month using a slip from the inside of a fortune cookie. While she missed matching the Powerball, the other five numbers combined
with her Power Play option were worth a grand total of two million dollars.
Emma Duvoll collected her winnings last week and told reporters she and her sons got the fortune cookie from a small noodle shop in Greenwich Village. When she cracked open the tasteless wafer and found a set of lucky numbers inside, she decided to give them a whirl.
“I heard about it once, a long time ago,” she said. “You try anything once. And this time it worked!”
In a related story, 14 other customers at Sammy’s Noodle Shop & Grill who also got fortune cookies that day are still waiting for their ability of accomplishment to be followed by success.
