Sometimes you just gotta go with a feeling.
A man with a Ghanaian first name, Kwame Cross bought 160 tickets this month for a Virginia Lottery Pick 4 game.
And he played exactly the same four-digit combination for every ticket: 7-3-1-4.
That combination, on December 5, proved to be a winning one, bringing Cross an $800,000 (GHS 4.6 million) payday.
“I saw an address in a TV show, in the background, and for some reason it stayed with me,” Cross, of Dumfries, told Lottery officials, according to a news release.
“I just had a feeling.”
Those numbers hit the Pick 4 top prize of $5,000, which was multiplied 160 times to earn Cross the huge payout.
The chance of matching all four numbers in exact order is 1 in 10,000, according to the Virginia Lottery.
“I thought, ‘This can’t be real!'” he said.
“I had to pull over and check, like, 82 times. It feels surreal!”
Cross, who owns a small business in Washington DC, told lottery officials he has no immediate plans for the money.
He bought the tickets from a Sunoco gas station in Arlington.
Guys, if this man is your uncle start being nice to him.
