\u201cThe clerk and I scanned it and we both just stood there, looking at each other,\u201d Behney told the Pennsylvania Lottery. \u201cWe didn\u2019t believe it! I thought, \u2018There\u2019s got to be something wrong.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Before joining the Army, Behney signed a minor league baseball contract with the Detroit Tigers to play in Montgomery, Alabama, making $300 a month.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents had to send me money. But it was such a great experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations to Alfred on his remarkable Pennsylvania Lottery win. His good fortune is a reminder that life\u2011changing prizes are awarded to players across the Commonwealth every day,\u201d said Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne. \u201cEvery Pennsylvania Lottery ticket purchased also supports vital programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians. We\u2019re very proud of the fact that the Pennsylvania Lottery remains the nation\u2019s only state lottery that directs all of its proceeds to programs supporting older residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
