Virginia resident Nicholas Fox’s sudden decision to drink an energy drink turned out to be a life-changing moment for him. While visiting his family in Altavista, Mr. Fox went to the A1 Mini Mart on Main Street to get some food and drinks. On a whim, he decided to buy some scratch-off lottery tickets. Little did he know that one of those tickets would end up winning the $1 million top prize in 20X The Money Game. However, he chose the cash option of $625,000 instead of the option to collect the full $1 million prize in 30 years.
“I thought I misread the numbers. You don’t know anyone who has won a lottery of that size,” he told lottery officials, according to the report. WFXR.
As a result of Mr. Fox’s win, A1 Mini Mart, where he purchased the ticket, will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery. When asked about his plans for this unexpected win, he decided to keep his intentions private.
