$1 million lottery prize won by Tennessee man

Tennesse man's last-minute decision to purchase a lottery ticket made him an overnight millionaire.

Jeff Stewart of Covington is the lucky winner who purchased the winning at 1631 Highway 51 S while stopped to fill up on gas.

He decided to purchase the second Millionaire Jumbo Bucks instant lottery ticket while he was there and to his disbelief, he became $1 million richer.

"I was just going to buy one, but for some reason, I decided to buy two," he said, adding of his hefty win, "I still can't believe it." 

Stewart has claimed the winning prize in Nashville last week, bringing his wife and brother along to celebrate the massive win.
