An Iowa man says that a cashier's "mistake" led to him winning $1 million in the Iowa Mega Millions lottery.<\/p>\n

Josh Buster, 40, said that when he asked a West Burlington convenience store clerk for five easy-pick plays for Friday night's Mega Millions drawing, he initially received only one play from the lottery terminal.<\/p>\n

The clerk then asked Buster if the four other plays could be issued on a separate ticket.<\/p>\n

"I feel like that changed the numbers that I would have gotten if he had put them all on one instead of making that mistake," Buster said.<\/p>\n

Buster said that he thought the whole thing was a mistake and had to Google the lottery numbers for himself after scanning the tickets on an app.<\/p>\n

"I don't usually have good luck, so I thought it was a mistake and there was going to be an error," he said. "So I Googled the lottery numbers to make sure I had the right ones, and I did! And then the rest of the day, I'm just waiting to wake up from a dream."<\/p>\n

Buster works as a prep chef at a Burlington, Iowa restaurant, and said that he's going to use the lottery winnings to pay off his car and his mother's mortgage, then put the rest in a retirement fund. <\/p>\n

"It will take away a lot of my stress in my life — no more of the financial worries," he said.<\/p>\n
