A neighboring Canton man, who recently topped off a hotdog he purchased with a colossal prize from the Georgia Lottery, will relish his lucky experience. Virgil Goddard won a $1 million prize playing the instant game $10 Million Cash Spectacular while on a weekend hunting trip in middle Georgia.

Goddard stopped at E Z Trip, 1054 S. Highway 247 in Kathleen, to purchase hotdogs and the instant ticket.

“I scratched it in the truck. I saw all of those zeros, and I was just excited,” Goddard said.

Georgia Lottery representatives presented the lucky winner with an oversized check Wednesday at CITGO Food and Gas Mart, 2000 Marietta Highway in Canton, a location closer to home.

“I’m going to enjoy life, and that includes more hunting, too,” Goddard quipped.
