NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee Lottery officials say a Dickson County man has won $3 million playing Royal Jumbo Bucks.
Tim Wallace, of Charlotte, stopped by the White Bluff Grocery on Highway 47 for a Gatorade and a candy bar, and he bought two Lottery tickets.
Wallace scratched his Royal Jumbo Bucks ticket, revealing his $3 million prize. The contractor set his Gatorade down, and he laid the ticket on the seat next to him.
“I pulled into the job site and told the boys, ‘Well, it looks like I’m not going to have to work anymore,’” Waller said laughingly. “But I’m going to keep working.”
This is not the first time Wallace has won money from the lottery, which explains his reaction to his winnings. In 2012, he won $250,000 on a Mega Monopoly ticket.
This is the 297th ticket sold worth $1 million or more since the Lottery began on January 20, 2004.
Wallaces’ plans for his latest winnings include putting it in savings and finishing construction of his house.
