"I almost didn't stop," Tuttle said. "When I saw that the price of gas had dropped back down, I turned around."
Tuttle said he bought a $1,000,000 Bonus Cash scratch-off ticket for $10 while filling up his tank and he was so shocked to see that he had won the top prize that he stopped pumping fuel.
"I didn't know what to do," Tuttle said. "I got into my truck and locked the door. To think I came that close to not stopping."
Tuttle chose the $600,000 lump sum option, which came to $415,503 after federal and state taxes. He said he plans to use the windfall to pay off his house.
