Duluth Man Wins $1M Playing Monopoly Millionaire

Eric Millen of Duluth stopped at a QuikTrip in Marietta recently to pick up beef jerky and an energy drink. He also purchased an instant game Monopoly Millionaire lottery ticket. It was a lucky ticket. Millen, 44, won a $1 million top prize.

“I was on break from work when I stopped,” Millen was quoted in a press release issued by the Georgia Lottery. “I picked up a Slim Jim, a 5-hour ENERGY and a ticket. It was the only one I could see, and it was shiny.” 

QuikTrip #0845, 600 S. Marietta Parkway in Marietta, sold the winning ticket. Millen waited until he got home before scratching the ticket.

“I stared at it and read it 10 times,” he said.

Millen anticipates purchasing a new car with his winnings and saving it for his 10-year-old daughter’s college expenses.
