Jose Flores Velasquez was happy to have won $600 after purchasing a lottery ticket at a local grocery store.

Little did he know he had won much, much more.

According to the Virginia Lottery, Velasquez recently visited the organization's headquarters in Woodbridge to redeem the winning $600 ticket but was surprised to learn from staffers that he had actually won the $1 million prize. The life-changing moment only happened after Velasquez bought a "20X the Money" ticket at a Safeway while picking up soft drinks on his way home from work, per Virginia Lottery. After claiming his winnings, Velasquez then had to choose whether he wanted $1 million spread out over the next 30 years, or a one-time payment. He chose the one-time cash option and took home $759,878 after taxes (which is $759,278 more than what he initially thought he had won, in case anyone is counting). Velasquez told the Virginia Lottery that he would use his newfound cash to help his family and possibly start his own business. "He is the second top prize winner in the latest version of 20X the Money (game #2128); that means one top prize remains unclaimed," Virginia Lottery said in a statement on their website. "The game features prizes ranging from $10 all the way up to $1 million," they added. "The chances of winning the top prize are 1 in 1,754,400. The chances of winning any prize in this game are 1 in 3.65."
