On Tuesday, lottery officials announced the newest winner. That winner, identified as Brian Woodle, 46, of Callahan, used just $5 to buy a GOLD RUSH SUPREME scratch-off from a Circle K located at 540251 U.S. Highway 1 and claimed the $1 million top prize. He purchased that ticket the same day he and his wife opened the doors to their new auto repair shop.

He chose to take home his winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $880,000.
