A turkey farmer in North Carolina won $100,000 in the lottery because he wanted steak for dinner.
William Jones, 32, of Richlands, North Carolina, was buying a propane tank for his grill so that he could cook the steaks, he told the NC Education Lottery in a press release.
That’s when he decided to buy a $100 Million Mega Cash ticket.
