Michael Schlemmer won a $1 million lottery prize after stopping at a gas station in Kentucky to fill up his tank. He purchased a $20 scratch-off ticket and realized he won after scratching the winning million-dollar symbol. Schlemmer chose to take the lump sum cash payment of $862,000 and plans to use a portion of his winnings to buy a new car. The Convenient Food Mart where he purchased the ticket will receive $8,620 for selling the winning ticket.
