Earlier, a man in Missouri won a $3 million (approximately Rs 25 crore) lottery prize after stopping at a grocery store to grab lunch, according to the Missouri Lottery. He had forgotten his lunch at home and received a call from his wife about it. While at the store, he decided to buy a Millionaire Bucks ticket. When he scanned it later, the machine displayed the message, ‘Lottery Winner.’

Speaking with the lottery officials, the winner explained that he usually doesn’t buy $30 (approximately Rs 2500) tickets but decided to give it a try since he had $60 (approximately Rs 5000). He didn’t expect to win and was shocked when he saw the amount with all the zeros. He also mentioned that he enjoys playing pranks, which made it harder for his wife to believe the news at first.
