North Carolina Lottery Win Is A Tribute To Late Father
This North Carolina Lottery winning story is kind of rare. I don’t usually read a story about a winner and the first word that pops in my head be, “heartwarming.” However, that’s the case here.
I’ve often thought of how I could do something or carry on some tradition to honor my father when the time comes that he’s no longer with me (and please let that be many years from now). He’s a professional photographer. Taking pictures is what he does, it’s what he loves. Perhaps, I’ll do something with that. I’m certain when my days are over, my son will do something with the game of golf. It’s what I do-what we’ve done together, it’s what I love.
Two years ago, Charlotte’s Alan Aguilera lost his father. His dad loved to play the lottery. So, in tribute to his dad, Alan continued to play because it’s what his father did, it’s what he loved to do.
According to WCNC, Aguilera bought his lucky $3 Quick Pick ticket for the June 24 Powerball drawing using Online Play. He matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000. His prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier hit.
On Monday, Alan Aguilera claimed his prize at The North Carolina Lottery headquarters. After both the state and Uncle Sam got their tax taste satisfied, his take home was $106,876. Alan’s plans for the windfall include an impeding medical procedure and then to put the rest in savings. And I assume to keep playing to honor his dad’s passion.
