Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A Nebraska man said a fellow customer at a store inspired him to buy the lottery ticket that earned him a $200,000 prize one day before his birthday.

Springfield resident Michael Henrichs told Nebraska Lottery officials he was at the B&D Pit Stop on Platteview Roa in Springfield when he saw another customer buying lottery tickets and decided to get a scratch-off for himself.
