TALLAHASSEE - It was a good day for one Florida man after opening his new auto repair shop – and winning $1 million the same day!
Brian Woodle, 46, of Callahan claimed a $1 million top prize from the $5 GOLD RUSH SUPREME Scratch-Off game.
He chose to receive his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $880,000.
Woodle told Lottery officials that on the same day he and his wife opened the doors to their auto repair shop, he picked up his $1 million winning ticket.
"I love working on vehicles and it has always been my dream to own my own repair shop," Woodle explained. "At the end of our first day I stopped by Circle K to get a few things and picked up a Lottery ticket; just like that we won a million bucks!"

I hope he’s not one of those “flash-your-cash” trashy types who goes broke within 3 or 4 years.
Pay yo’ loans.
I hope they invest and spend it well.
If he doesn’t pay the loan that borrowed to open the shop, he will be.
They look like nice down-home people, and opened a small business instead of sitting on their asses waiting for handouts. Good for them.
Nice to start my day with good news. A deserving family man at best.
At worst? They’ll blow the bucks.
Good for him - it proves you can be walking around lucky and not even know it.
Good for him. Spend it wisely sir!
The day I opened my car dealership I bought a scratch off..
won a buck.
on a 2 dollar ticket.
The kid on the left looks like the kid from the TV show “Amazing Stories”
Good for him! Time to buy some scratch-offs!
Man wins 1 million dollars one day before he closes his new auto repair shop
They went to golden corral to celebrate
If they blow the cash, so what, it’s found money and they can’t take it with them, it won’t buy them one more day of life, so spend it I say for tomorrow it might be worthless paper or you might be in the ground pushing up daisies.
A good day, I’d say. Congrats & God bless. Spend it wisely, invest.
Did they just clone that dude twice to get the sons? They look exactly like him.
I hope not. A million bucks don't buy what it used to, and Biden's making it less valuable every single day.
Opens new auto repair shop.
Good for him. Maybe he won’t rip off people needing their car fixed.
