The 39-year-old father of two, who works as an accountant, said he has been playing the lottery for years, but never thought he would actually win. "I've always dreamed of winning the lottery, but it seemed like a far-fetched goal," Singh said. "Now, it's a reality, and I'm still in shock."

Singh's wife, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she was busy with household chores when she received the Snapchat from her husband. "I was stunned when I saw the message," she recalled. "I thought he was joking or pulling a prank on me. It took me a few minutes to process the news."

When Singh arrived home, his wife was overjoyed and tears of happiness filled her eyes. The couple hugged each other tightly, still trying to wrap their heads around their newfound fortune.

The first thing on the couple's agenda is to buy a new home for their family. They have been renting a small apartment for several years and are excited to have a place to call their own. "We've been saving for a down payment for years, but now we can afford our dream home," Singh said.

In addition to the new home, the couple plans to invest some of the winnings and save for their children's education. They also want to take a family vacation to Disneyland, a trip they've been putting off due to financial constraints.

Singh's win is a testament to the fact that anyone can win the lottery, no matter how unlikely it may seem. "I'm just a regular guy who got lucky," Singh said humbly. "I hope my story inspires others to keep dreaming big."

The Circle K on Coral Springs Boulevard N.E., where Singh purchased his winning ticket, will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
