A Virginia man credits mother nature and an abandoned day of landscaping with his $10 million lottery jackpot win.

弗吉尼亞州一名男子中了1000萬美元的彩票頭獎，他將其歸功于大自然和沒能美化庭園的一天。

Charles Martin of Amelia Courthouse told the Virginia Lottery he got home from work on a recent evening and began to mow the lawn but had his efforts stopped short when it began to rain.

阿米利亞法院的查爾斯·馬丁向《弗吉尼亞彩票》透露，前幾天晚上下班回家他開始割草，但不久之后天開始下雨，他不得不停止了勞動。

Martin put his lawn mower away and headed to his favorite convenience store, where he bought a few scratch-off lottery tickets.

馬丁把割草機(jī)收了起來，去了他最喜歡的便利店，在那里隨手買了一些刮刮樂彩票。

One of those tickets was called Extreme Millions.

其中一種彩票稱為Extreme Millions。

"I scratched it and I about had a heart attack!" Martin said.

馬丁說道：“我刮開彩票，看見數(shù)字后，心臟病差點(diǎn)發(fā)作了!”

His ticket was $10 million winner. The staggering odds of winning that top prize are 1 in 2,937,600.

他的彩票中了一千萬美元。而獲得這一最高獎金的幾率是1/2937600。

He took it to the store owner who scanned it and said, "Oh, it must be a good one because I can't pay it!"

隨后他把中獎彩票拿給店主看，店主看完說道：“啊，這張票太牛了，因為我根本兌不起!”

On September 12, Mr. Martin returned to the store to receive his check from the Virginia Lottery.

9月12日，馬丁回到店里，領(lǐng)取了來自《弗吉尼亞彩票》的支票。

He had a choice of taking the full $10 million over 30 years or a one-time cash option of$6,570,302 before taxes. He chose the cash option.

他有兩種選擇：一種是30年分期拿到全部的1000萬美元，另一種是一次性現(xiàn)金，繳稅后為6570302美元。最終他選擇了一次性現(xiàn)金。
