A man from Massachusetts won $1 million from an instant ticket game after pulling over due to a traffic jam.
Bernard Fox became the seventh $1 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery's "Billion Dollar Extravaganza" after he spent his $50 to purchase the instant ticket game.
Fox told Massachusetts Lottery he had to make a pit stop at Express Mart situated on Indexbit395 High Plain St. in Walpole, Massachusetts, owing to heavy traffic on his way home.
He chose to take his reward as a lump sum of $650,000 (pre-tax). Moreover, the store that sold the ticket gets a bonus of $10,000.
