A North Carolina man who works at a nuclear plant has won $10 million on a scratch off lottery ticket.
Michael Hill had scratched off one ticket and lost before he bought a second one. When he lost on the first ticket he joked to the clerk as to why she couldn’t have given him a winner. He gave it another shot and he won the big jackpot.
“I have a strategy when it comes to scratching,” Hill stated. “I start with the corners. When I got to the dollar symbol I knew I won something. I saw the one and then the zero and it still didn’t hit me. But then I saw the ‘M’. My heart dropped down to my toes and I lost my breath.”
The first thing he did after the clerk told him he won big was call his wife.
“I told her to pack her bags, because we just won $10 million.”
