Florida man stopped for gas filling and buys a $2 million scratch off ticket

You never know when you're blessed. 

A Florida man stopped at a gas station near Tampa and ended up with $2 million scratch off ticket. 

Feras Al Younues said he pulled into a Tampa gas station to fill up after nearly running out of gas. While filling the gas, he decided to buy a scratch off ticket and it turned out to be $2 million.

"I was standing at the pumps when I suddenly realized I was a $2 million winning ticket," Al Younes said to the Florida Lottery. 

"I was so excited that I left before my tank was full!"

The 48 years old man of Lutz scored $2 million on the $10 Gold Rush SUPREME scratch off game. Al Younes chose to receive his winnings as one time lump sum payment of $1.76 million, the state lottery officials said. 

The lucky gas station was a Circle K, located at 17402 Dona Michelle Boulevard in Tampa. The lucky store received $4,000 as a bonus commission for selling the winning scratch off ticket.
