Nebraska Dad Wins $1M in Mega Millions on Whim

Brant Edgington, who rarely plays the lottery, bought the winning ticket while purchasing a salad, highlighting the unpredictability of luck.

Brant Edgington, a single dad from Nebraska, won $1 million in the Mega Millions lottery after purchasing a ticket on a whim while buying a salad.
Edgington, who usually plays the lottery only when the jackpot is high, was not expecting to buy a ticket during his grocery store visit.
Upon checking his ticket with store staff, he was informed of his win, leading to a moment of disbelief.
The winning ticket matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball, defying odds of 1 in 12,607,306.
Edgington is unsure if he will continue playing the lottery, emphasizing that financially, 'bologna is more important' as a single parent.
