The Montgomery County resident claimed his prize on Monday, July 13, after winning one of the game’s top prizes on the $5 Multiply Your Money Scratch-Off, which debuted on Tuesday, June 17.

The longtime Lottery player said he regularly plays bingo and scratch-offs and prefers buying new games when they are released.
