Corbin Kentucky resident Michael Schlemmer is very lucky man who paid $20 to purchase gasoline for his auto since it was close to empty at a Convenient Food Mart on Thursday. Since Michael had $20 more dollars in his wallet as he used it to buy a lottery scratch off ticket which was called "$1 million dollar Luck Kentucky Scratch off ticket." Michael then found out that won $1 million dollars before taxes. After Michael went to Kentucky Lottery headquarters to collect $616,330 after taxes were taken out since he chose to take the lump sum of $862,000 dollars. Michael will use the money to buy a new auto. Michael admits that he is a very lucky man to spend his last dollars on playing a scratch off game. Link is breitbart.com/local/2023/05/...

Our scratch-offs don't offer prizes like this; and I would never pay $20 for a ticket. Congratulations to Michael for winning a million dollars!

I would only play the $1 dollar scratch off lottery tickets even though the prizes are smaller. Better to be safe than sorry.

Neither did I since I used to play the small scratch off games like the $1 dollar games.

@CarolDM I gave up playing scratch offs a few years ago due to lack of money.

I hope he does not waste his money. He might have relatives and friends coming around to have money given to them.

I have heard the horror stories of lottery winners blowing their money by giving it away to relatives who will use the hard luck story on them.

Michael is a very lucky person since the odds of winning a huge lottery prize is not in anyone's favor.

Lottery winner in our place isn't publicly known except the prize he won. If it is, his life would be in danger.

You are right since lottery winners who reveal their identities will have many strangers will come to him begging him for money using bad luck stories.
