On July 24, Martin stopped there and bought three Mega Millions tickets, using numbers that he found on a fortune cookie slip years before. He likes the numbers and routinely plays them, the New Jersey Lottery said.
He returned to the store the next day, where he discovered that he had won a $1 million jackpot.
Martin and his wife will use the money to pay off their mortgage and bills, with the remaining amount going to their savings, the New Jersey Lottery said in its news release.
