弗吉尼亚州一名男子中了1000万美元的彩票头奖,他将其归功于大自然和没能美化庭园的一天。

阿米利亚法院的查尔斯·马丁向《弗吉尼亚彩票》透露,前几天晚上下班回家他开始割草,但不久之后天开始下雨,他不得不停止了劳动。

Martin put his lawn mower away and headed to his favorite convenience store, where he bought a few scratch-off lottery tickets.

马丁把割草机收了起来,去了他最喜欢的便利店,在那里随手买了一些刮刮乐彩票。

One of those tickets was called Extreme Millions.

"I scratched it and I about had a heart attack!" Martin said.

马丁说道:“我刮开彩票,看见数字后,心脏病差点发作了!”

His ticket was $10 million winner. The staggering odds of winning that top prize are 1 in 2,937,600.

他的彩票中了一千万美元。而获得这一最高奖金的几率是1/2937600。

He took it to the store owner who scanned it and said, "Oh, it must be a good one because I can't pay it!"

随后他把中奖彩票拿给店主看,店主看完说道:“啊,这张票太牛了,因为我根本兑不起!”

On September 12, Mr. Martin returned to the store to receive his check from the Virginia Lottery.

9月12日,马丁回到店里,领取了来自《弗吉尼亚彩票》的支票。

He had a choice of taking the full $10 million over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $6,570,302 before taxes. He chose the cash option.

他有两种选择:一种是30年分期拿到全部的1000万美元,另一种是一次性现金,缴税后为6570302美元。最终他选择了一次性现金。
