    CHARLOTTE ( QUEEN CITY NEWS ) — A Charlotte man’s pockets are a little thicker following a big lottery win on a digital purchase.

    Osama Lafi, of Charlotte, bought the $2 ticket last month and beat the 1 in 15.5 million odds in the Bison Bonanza game to claim a $668,911 jackpot.

    Lafi claimed his prize on Wednesday and took home $478,272 after taxes.

    “My heart was beating so fast,” he recalled. “I was screaming on the inside.” Lafi is planning on buying a new car and helping out some friends and family with the proceeds won.
