Man Knew About $1 Million Lottery Win Since January

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- A Rockville man won $1 million in the D.C. Lottery's Black instant scratch ticket game. Lottery officials say Mr. C. Zheng knew about the win since late January when he purchased the ticket at Rodman's Drugs at 5100 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W.

He told lottery officials later he instantly realized he had won the top prize but couldn't believe it.

"I couldn't believe it! I took it home. I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking that it wasn't true." Unsure of what to do with his ticket, he said, "I put it up with my passport. I didn't know where to put it."
