| Fortune Cookie Turns Bronx Woman into Millionaire |
| 2014-03-09 |
| [An Nahar] A 75-year-old New York woman found her fortune in a cookie. Emma Duvoll won $2 million in a recent Powerball drawing after playing the numbers found in her fortune cookie. The retired Bronx resident bought the lottery ticket after dining at a Chinese restaurant in Greenwich Village. The Daily News reports that the owner of Sammy's Noodle Shop & Grill joked that maybe the waiters should get 20 percent of her winnings. Duvoll, a retired deli owner, picked up her prize on Thursday. She purchased the ticket for the Feb. 1 drawing at the Hannaford Pharmacy in upstate Pine Bush. She plans to invest her winnings and may splurge on a trip to Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... to see relatives. |

| #1 Of course, she could have picked 1,2,3,4,5,and 6. Mathematically speaking, that combination is just as likely. |
