Roberto Mendoza was just paying for his gas. The lottery ticket was a rare impulse buy. "I scratched the top and saw the match for $250,000. ... I go Oh my! Then I started to jump and hit my friend," the chef said. "My next reaction was basically 'this is not my money.' I'd been feeding little ones in Charlotte for five years, and I decided I was going to continue to do that." He was destined to do much more.
