CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A Charlotte man plans to spend his $1 million North Carolina lottery prize on a house with enough room for two goats his fiancee wants to get.
Lottery officials tell the Charlotte Observer that over the weekend, Bobby Murphy bought five $10 50X The Cash tickets at 7-Eleven and saw he won the top prize on the last ticket he scratched off.
Murphy told lottery officials he wants to buy a house where his fiancee’s son will have space to play, and “she can have her goats.”
