Jose Flores Velasquez of Annandale told Virginia Lottery officials that he purchased a '20X the Money scratch-off ticket' at the Annandale Safeway while shopping for a soda drink.

He believed the winning ticket was worth $600, so he went to the Virginia Lottery's Woodbridge customer care office to collect his meager award.

He opted for getting his winning as a one time lump sum and took home $759,878 instead of getting $1 million in 30 years. 

Mr Velasquez intends to use his winnings to support his family and, possibly, to start his own business.
