The winner, who chooses to be anonymous, won the cash after purchasing a Lucky 7 scratch-off game at a store in Midland. He said he never purchased a $20 dollar ticket but decided to take the chance before picking up his children. “Last year, I lost everything in a flood, so to win this prize is so overwhelming to me. When I saw I had a match, I thought: ‘Great, I won my money back!’ When I saw I had actually won $2 million, I couldn’t stop shaking,” he said.
Before the huge winning, the man also said he won $10,000 from the lottery and thought that was more than enough.
A few years back, I won $10,000 and I thought that was my once-in-a-lifetime shot at winning the Lottery.”
