At the presentation of the gift, the man was given the choice to either get the whole $1m (N413,410,0000 yearly payment over the course of 30 years or take $640,205 (N264,667,149.05), excluding tax deductions.
The man chose the second option. Dennis now has more than enough to get whatever measure of chocolate he wants for his kids.
Man unexpectedly won life-changing money
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a man moved from being a supermarket worker to a multi-millionaire in one day after hitting it big in a lottery.
It was gathered that Paul Drake was seated in his car at 4.30 am about to zoom off to work when he found out that he is the recipient of a £5,162,779 (N2.9 billion) lottery prize.
The surprised man ran back inside the house to inform his wife identified as Louise of the great news. Paul purchased his Lotto Lucky Dip tickets from a store in Seafield, Scotland and matched all six main numbers - 23, 26, 34, 36, 44, and 59 - in the Wednesday 28 July draw to claim the whopping prize.
