Lottery officials called the man, who bought his ticket online, to share the good news.

"Oh my god! I thought this was a prank call! I can't tell you how glad I am now that I answered," the winner said. "I'm speechless! It's incredible. I've been playing Lucky Lotteries for 10 years, but you never actually expect to win."
