“I was out with my son-in-law when I scratched the ticket off,” said the 63-year-old winner. “I looked at it a couple times and then scanned it with my phone. When I saw the message that I’d won $1 million, I felt a rush like I’d never felt before.”

He chose to receive the prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $634,000 rather than annuity payments for the full amount. He plans to share the windfall with his family.

“It’s nice to have money now that I can share with my family when they could use it,” the player said.
