Stu MacDonald of Bend, Oregon buys a Megabucks ticket every week.
Earlier this month, MacDonald bought a ticket at Ashley’s Café that proved to be a winner. A big winner.
Stu purchased a winning ticket to the tune of $4.6 million! He opted for a lump sum payment of $2.3 million, taking home $1.56 million after taxes.
And if the story isn’t already sweet enough, MacDonald is also a survivor, having beaten cancer on TWO separate occasions. He told the Oregon Lottery in a press release, “I am a very lucky guy. I have survived cancer twice and here I am. This is amazing.”
Ashley’s Café wil receive a winner’s bonus for selling the ticket, amounting to $46,000.
