The fortune cookie came from the Red Bowl Asian Bistro, a restaurant that Fierro and his wife visit around once a week. This is the first time that he used lucky numbers from a fortune cookie.
“I got an email in the morning, and I just stared at it dumbfounded,” Fierro said. “I took it and showed it to my wife, and she thought it was an April Fool’s joke or maybe a scam.”
Fierro decided that to claim the cash lump sum which paid out $2.4 million, and he plans on investing the money and making one small purchase.
“We are going to buy some champagne on the way home,” Fierro laughed.
