GREENSBORO, N.C. -- His life is all about burgers and has been for the past 43 years, but the owner of Beef Burger in Greensboro has something else to smile about.
Ralph Havis, couldn't believe his luck on Sunday after he purchased a Golden 7's ticket for just $5. Now that's just about the same price for a burger, fries, and a drink at his restaurant.
Havis scratched off the lucky ticket and saw he won $150,000. He bought the lottery ticket at the Pop Shoppe on West Friendly Avenue in Greensboro. He stated, "I just couldn't believe it. I'm going to put this right in the bank. Some people talk about the fun things they would do if they won the lottery, but my fun is selling hamburgers. This feels great."
After state and federal taxes are withheld, Havis will get a check for $103, 801.
There are two more $150,000 top prizes to be claimed playing the Golden 7's game.
