An Atlantic Beach man won $2,000,000 off a $10 scratch off ticket just days before his birthday.
Melvin Thomas, 47, bought his winning ticket at the Mayport Food Store in Atlantic Beach.
He'll celebrate his birthday this weekend.
The $10 ticket was part of the $2,000,000 GOLD RUSH lottery game that has prizes that range from $10 to eight top prizes of $2,000,000.
Thomas chose a one-time, lump-sum payment of $1,565,319.
The store received a $4,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.
