The new lucky winner said he was so unlucky that he told his sister to buy her own ticket for Powerball drawing on Saturday because he believed she don’t want his bad luck to touch it.
But The Landis man Mr. Goodman’s luck changed on Saturday night’s drawing when he checked his ticket. The result made him one of the luckiest Powerball players in North Carolina now.

Goodman shouted to his sister in excitement when he checked his ticket last evening
“She didn’t believe me. I had to show her the ticket. It was a real exciting time. I didn’t expect to even get my money back.”
This lucky Powerball ticket is one of three in North Carolina that matched four of the white balls and the Powerball, beating offs of 1 in 913,129. Though that wins him $50,000, the power play feature was purchased and the 3X multiplier makes him Powerball winner of $1,50,000.
“That $1 difference gave me an additional $100,000” Goodman said.
The ticket was purchased from Love’s Travel Stop on Peeler Road in Salisbury. He received just $105,752 after taxes withdrawn.
