I feel like I should\u2019ve parlayed that stripper $20 into some lottery tickets, instead of adding it to the pot of cash I was saving to get an iPad with, especially since that iPad is long since dead after its screen cracked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But the best part about this man\u2019s story, and why it\u2019s such a no-brainer to warrant posting about in the brog was pretty obvious, which were his plans upon receiving his payout:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">We are going to head straight to Golden Corral and eat everything they\u2019ve got,\u201d Hicks said after claiming his winnings.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It\u2019s a lol quote if there ever was one needed, and I love how the man\u2019s first meal idea after pocketing $425K large is Golden Corral, and he elaborates that he\u2019s going to \u201ceat everything they\u2019ve got,\u201d as if he\u2019s now capable of spending more to get more, at an all-you-can-eat buffet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Forget about China Star Buffet kids, we going to Golden Coral!\u00a0 Plus y\u2019all get to have your own plates!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I\u2019ve never been to Banner Elk, North Carolina before, but seeing where it is on the map, not that far from the unfortunately recently destroyed Asheville and surrounding Appalachia, I can\u2019t be too surprised to assume that Golden Corral might be the golden standard for dining out options in that region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Jokes aside, no shade and beef with Golden Corral; like much on this planet, I am not above it, and I in fact freaking love me some Golden Corral when the opportunity strikes, and frankly as much as I wouldn\u2019t kick it out of bed, $425K isn\u2019t necessarily life-changing money as much as it would be a great big windfall to catch up with, so honestly going with Golden Corral as the celebratory meal isn\u2019t the worst option there could be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Either way, I am a jealous fatty of this man for all of the above; finding a $20 in the gas station parking lot, winning a $1M lottery, and having the opportunity to celebrate with Golden Corral.\u00a0 I tip my cap to this gentleman, and wish him good fortune in the wars to come; mostly with the IRS and his digestive system after eating everything at Golden Corral.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANF: North Carolina man wins $1M from scratcher, has big plans I\u2019m pretty sure this is the plot to My Name is Earl, where a redneck finds a $20 in the parking lot, parlays it into a scratcher lottery ticket and promptly wins $1M prize.\u00a0 TBS couldn\u2019t produce something funnier, and they\u2019re the home to &hellip;
