Read previewA man found out he had won a $1 million lottery prize in the middle of a work conference call and, understandably, struggled to keep his cool, he said in an Idaho Lottery news release on Thursday.
Andrew Nachman of McCall told the Idaho Lottery that he had just returned from a vacation and was sitting down for a work call when he noticed a lottery ticket lying on his desk.
"When it said it was the million-dollar winner, I was convinced I had entered the number wrong," he told lottery officials.
AdvertisementNachman said he rushed downstairs and handed the ticket to his wife to confirm whether they had won.
While he commenced his work video call, she called the lottery office to check, he said.
