NEW YORK - A 75-year-old New York woman found her fortune in a cookie.
Emma Duvoll won US$2 million (S$2.5 million) in a recent Powerball drawing after playing the numbers found in her fortune cookie.
The retired Bronx resident bought the lottery ticket after dining at a Chinese restaurant in Greenwich Village.
The Daily News reports that the owner of Sammy’s Noodle Shop & Grill joked that maybe the waiters should get 20 per cent of her winnings.
Ms Duvoll, a retired deli owner, picked up her prize on Thursday. She purchased the ticket for the Feb 1 drawing at the Hannaford Pharmacy in upstate Pine Bush.
She plans to invest her winnings and may splurge on a trip to Switzerland to see relatives. AP
