A North Carolina man has won $2 million from a scratch-off ticket he purchased from the grocery store that employs him. Hyeon Jung, who works at Green Street Grocery in High Point, purchased the $20 lottery ticket while he was on break. He has not revealed whether he plans on keeping the job.  Although Jung could have made $2 million in 20 annual installments, he chose to go with the lump sum amount of $1.2 million. Minus state and federal taxes, he walked away with $855,006.
