North Carolina man wins lottery prize by a lottery app number

I am sure we have heard of the saying "You win some and then you lose some." In this case an Asheboro North Carolina resident named Jacob Strickland was sad that his favorite college football team the Clemson Tigers lost a football game to the University of Norte Dame Fighting Irish earlier this month. Jacob was watching the football game either on television or at a stadium with his friends when he decided to buy a Powerball ticket at a service station the night before the November 5th lottery drawing by using the lottery's smartphone app. Jacob was shocked to learn when the lottery drawing came up with him winning a prize worth $150,000 dollars before taxes. Jacob sent a screenshot of him winning the prize to his friends. Jacob says that with his prize money he will use it for investments and savings.
