Fortune Cookie's Lucky Numbers Worth $10M

Those lucky numbers printed on the back of a fortune cookie slip lived up to their name last month. A Boca Raton man won $10 million in the Florida lottery after playing the random digits, reports the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Richard Davis, 66, was a regular player of bigger, multi-state lottery games like Powerball, but recently switched to the Florida Lotto for better odds—increasing his odds from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 23 million. Davis chose the lump sum payout, and will receive about $7 million. The Boca Raton Publix where he bought the ticket will get $50,000. (People actually do win with fortune cookie numbers.)
