A Florida man just looking to buy a sandwich recently had a very lucky day.
Travis Hall, a 44-year-old resident of Port St. Lucie, Florida, won the $5 million top prize from the $20 Monopoly Doubler Scratch-Off game. Hall told Florida Lottery officials he purchased his winning ticket from a Publix in Stuart, Florida, around 10 miles south of Port St. Lucie, after stopping at the grocery store to buy a sub sandwich.
"Little did I know, it would turn into a $5 million-dollar win," Hall told the Florida Lottery. "After waiting days to scratch the ticket, I handed it to my wife − my hands were trembling from disbelief at what I was seeing."
For selling the winning ticket, the Publix location will receive a $10,000 bonus commission.

According to the lottery, the $20 Monopoly Doubler Scratch-Off game's overall odds of winning a prize are one in 3.02. It features more than $493 million in cash prizes, including eight top prizes of $5 million.
