A Florida man is all excited and pumped up after achieving two successful turning points in his life. First - a lottery jackpot worth $1 million and second, opening his auto repair shop.

Winning a lottery is a dream come true for each one of us, but it's almost hard to imagine the amount of joy one experiences encountering two happy and prosperous moments in one's life that too on the same day.

Brian Woodle, 46, and his wife hailing from Callahan, recently had a grand celebration for opening their auto repair shop. Feeling all happy after a successful event and the first day at the shop, the Nassau County resident stopped at the Circle K convenience store on U.S. Highway 1 in Callahan and bought the $5 "Gold Rush Supreme" scratch-off lottery ticket.

In the public statement, the winner revealed that "At 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!"

Woodle got the chance of bagging up a $1 million top prize in the game which was released in January and visited the lottery headquarters with his family in Tallahassee to claim the winnings. He chose to receive his lottery prize money as a one-time lump sum amount of $880,000 before taxes.

Now that the lottery top prize and successful business owner has claimed his prize, there are eight top lottery top prizes of $1 million remaining out of the 24 available. There are 154-second prizes of $10,000 out of 484 left and 902 third prizes of $2,000 out of 2,916 remaining in the "Gold Rush Supreme" game. The odds of winning any prize in the game are 1 in 3.97. So, have you checked your lottery tickets carefully? If not, have a look at them once again!
