CALLAHAN, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man won $1 million in a lottery game the same day he and his wife opened an auto repair shop.
Brian Woodle, 46, bought the $5 Gold Rush Supreme scratch-off ticket from a Circle K in Callahan.
'œI love working on vehicles and it has always been my dream to own my own repair shop,'ť Woodle said in a news release sent by the Florida Lottery. 'œAt the end of our first day, I stopped by Circle K to get a few things and picked up a Lottery ticket; just like that we won a million bucks!'ť
He selected to receive a one-time, lump-sum payment of $880,000, the lottery said. The Circle K store will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
Callahan is near Jacksonville on Florida's Atlantic Coast.
