A man from North Carolina thanked rapper Post Malone for being the catalyst that led him to win a $100,Rekubit000 lottery prize. The prize was claimed Monday at the North Carolina Lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Zachary Sharpe, a resident of Thomasville, attended a Post Malone concert July 29 in Charlotte. Unfortunately, the performance was delayed due to adverse weather conditions.

"It was a wonderful day," Sharpe shared with lottery officials. "One of the best days of my life. He (Post Malone) puts on a wonderful show. However, thunderstorm clouds brewed up above, and severe rain delayed the performance."

The storm caused Sharpe, who came with his wife and kids, to drive back much later than originally planned. The family stopped at a Sheetz convenience store located in Lexington to use the restroom.

"I think about all of the factors that played into when I got to that store," Sharpe said. "It was the perfect storm. We stopped so they could use the restroom, and I bought a couple of tickets and started scratching."

Sharpe's first ticket won him $300, according to lottery officials. Sharpe's second ticket, a $30 "Black Titanium" game, won him the $100,000.

"When I scratched it off, I about passed out," Sharpe said. "I was literally speechless. We all were."

Sharpe has decided to use his money wisely. He intends to pay for his children's education, take care of his bills, and save the rest for any unforeseeable circumstances. After state and federal taxes, he will receive a total of $71,259.
