The man, who has requested to remain anonymous, discovered his good fortune in the unlikeliest of places—the bathroom.

That's because the man secretly bought the lucky $10 ticket against his girlfriend's wishes, according to MLive. He hid the ticket until the next morning, when he scratched it off in the bathroom.

The man will receive one lump-sum payment of $634, 517.

He plans on taking a vacation to Scotland. Yes, his girlfriend is invited.

The man says he hopes his girlfriend won’t be as skeptical the next time he’s feeling lucky.
