Christmas has come early for one man and his wife.
An airport worker in California scratched off a $30 ticket for his lunch break and it was on that day that his life changed forever.
Durwin Hickman was having lunch when he purchased this scratch ticket and towards the bottom of the ticket, he saw the word "Life" which indicated he had just won the jackpot.
Yes, Huckman won $20,000,000 million while out on his lunch break and he says that when he saw the word "Life" on the ticket, "It was the biggest rush I have had in my life.”
