Unbelievable: Man Won $2million Lottery and Intentionally Kept It Away From His Wife (Photo)

 

The man won $2million lottery win and kept it a secret from his wife so that he can give her a Christmas surprise of a lifetime.

 

The man identified as Robert Bowlin, of Platte City, won a Missouri Lotto jackpot in early December, splitting a $4 million prize with another person who matched all six numbers. 

 

Although Bowlin, a retired operating engineer, discovered he had won on December 3, he didn't collect his winnings until December 29 and his wife never knew about the win.

 

He only notified a financial adviser and a CPA, but otherwise didn't tell anyone until Christmas Day - so he could give his wife an amazing surprise.

 

The father-of-three says he hasn't made any plans for his winnings. Bowlin, who has two grandchildren, purchased his winning ticket from Trex Mart 2 in Tracy. The store will receive $2,500 for selling one of the winning tickets.
