With just a $20 bill in his hand and a stroke of luck on his side, a Florida man bought a lottery ticket at a nearby convenience store and is now nearly $4 million richer. 

Rickey Johnson of Winter Haven won the Gold Rush Limited scratch-off game's top prize of $5 million, or $3.9 million after taxes, the Florida Lottery announced on Tuesday.

Johnson, 66, bought the winning ticket from a Food Mart in Haines City.
