Who knew a simple milk errand would turn out to be a rare chance to win $1 million?
Dennis Willoughby of North Chesterfield, Virginia, went to a local 7-Eleven to buy chocolate milk for his children. He also decided to pick up a scratch-off lottery ticket, according to Virginia Lottery officials.
The $1,000,000 Platinum Jackpot ticket he bought turned out to be a top prize winner.
Willoughby is the second player to win the top prize for this game. There is one more top-prize winning ticket, and it's still out there somewhere.
The store received a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
The lottery officials say that the odds of winning it are 1 in 1,632,000.
The lucky dad was given two options - take the full $1 million prize in yearly payments over 30 years, or a one-time cash payment of $640,205 before taxes. He chose the latter.
In the end it may not be $1 million, but it can still buy a lot of chocolate milk!
