Lotto winner : Marvin martinez found $1M ticket cleaning up after Sandy

Imagine finding a scratch ticket worth $1 million just blowing around in the wind.

That’s just what happened to one man from New york.

Marvin Rosales-Martinez picked up a wet ‘win for life’ scratch-off ticket while being employed as a landscaper 30 days after Superstorm Sandy hit.

He brought the ticket to lottery headquarters and found out he was the large winner.

According to a lottery spokesman, Lee Park, your research found pointless to think that the ticket “wasn’t rightfully the home of Mr. Martinez. There wasn’t any report of theft or of a ticket being misplaced.”

Martinez chose to receive his prize like a one-time one time payment. He will receive a payment of $779,106 which will leave him with $515,612 following the required tax withholdings. He has said that he promises to share the prize cash with his family.
