Stephen Zick, 76, from North Carolina in the United States, is tens of thousands of pounds richer after his ticket was won in the state lottery.
Stephen, who lives in Charlotte, told lottery officials after he collected his money that he had "felt a sudden urge to buy a scratch-off so he listened, leading to a USD 100,000 [£82,000] lottery win”.
