It started as an ordinary Saturday for Oscar Rosales—just a quick haircut to freshen up his weekend. But that routine stop turned into something unforgettable.
After his trim, Rosales pulled into Lighthouse Food Mart on Holloway Street in Durham to grab some cash for his barber. That’s when fate stepped in. “Something just told me to buy that,” he said, remembering the moment he picked up a $20 Ruby Red 7’s scratch-off ticket.
Sitting in his truck, Rosales scratched the ticket and discovered he’d just won $100,000. Talk about a lucky haircut!
When he showed up at lottery headquarters on Monday, the reality sank in. After taxes, he took home a cool $71,756.
“This will help me complete some goals that I have,” Rosales said, smiling. “It’s definitely going to help.”
A simple haircut and a gut feeling turned an average Saturday into a life-changing payday — proof that sometimes, luck strikes when you least expect it.
