Man wins Powerball with numbers given from Zoltar

Remember Zoltar? The creepy fortune-telling machine from the movie, “Big” that granted Tom Hanks’ wish and turned a kid into a grown man overnight?

Well, a Michigan man named Stephen Huesgen might argue Zoltar’s magic is REAL.

Thirty years ago, Stephen got a fortune from a Zoltar machine in Las Vegas — complete with lucky numbers. He’s been playing those numbers on lottery tickets ever since. Fast forward to now… he just won $1 million on Powerball.

His first words to his wife? “Is this real?!”

Sir, you took life advice from a mechanical man in a glass box for three decades and it WORKED. That’s commitment.

Tom Hanks wished to be Big. Stephen wished to be RICH. Zoltar said, “Your wish is granted.”
