A college student who moved from India to Illinois has won $1 million in a scratch-off game.
Asif Kahn, 21, who lives in Chicago suburb Villa Park, bought a ticket for the Illinois Lottery's Gold Bullion game three days before Thanksgiving at a Shell station in Hillside, Ill.
"I just took the ticket and went to my car, and I made a U-turn and went straight back home," Kahn said. "I walked into my house and I said, 'Mom, you're not gonna believe what happened."
He said he plans on using the majority of the money to pay off thousands of dollars in student loans, and then to eventually pay for medical school.
