A less than ordinary trip to a grocery store to buy milk became an "amazing" story that turned an ordinary man into a millionaire. Dennis Wiloughby was on a routine trip to buy chocolate milk for his children from a 7-Eleven store in Virginia when he decided to buy a lottery ticket as he was about to pay for the milk. Wiloughby was later surprised when it was announced that he was the new winner of the state lottery, worth one million dollars—a remarkable feat given that the odds of winning are 1 in 1.63 million, according to CNN.
The contest offered the American father the option of receiving annual payments for 30 years or taking a lump sum of $640,000, which is the amount after taxes; he chose the first option. The American man noted that he had not planned to buy a lottery ticket before going but was encouraged when he saw it while purchasing the chocolate milk.
