A man needed change for lunch so bought a lottery ticket and won €8.9 million
A MASSACHUSETTS MAN who bought a pair of lottery tickets at a grocery shop to break a $100 bill for lunch has ended up winning $10 million (€8.9 million).
Lottery officials announced Thursday that Richard Noll and his wife claimed the prize at lottery headquarters in Braintree this week. He chose a one-time payment of $6.5 million after taxes.
The Revere man says he needed to break a $100 bill to get lunch at a sandwich shop, so he bought two $20 “Platinum Millions” instant tickets at Lanzilli Groceria in East Boston. The shop gets a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Noll says he wants to buy a house, make investments and take his granddaughter to Walt Disney World.
