Every once and awhile I'll buy a quick pick lottery ticket at the grocery store, and most of the time I never think I'll win.

Well, this guy never thought he was going to win, but he did!

Bobby Kato Jr. took home the big prize from the CT Lottery of winning $5,000 a month for life.  Kato runs a counseling business, helping others every day, and how he's going to be able to help himself big time!

The Danbury man recently purchased a winning ticket in the lottery's $5,000 A Month For Life game at the Mill Plain Exxon in Danbury, and it ended up being that one lucky ticket.

Since he won this mega-prize, in the CT Lottery game, Kato will be paid $5,000 a month for life. This particular prize has guaranteed minimum total payout of $1.2 million, or Kato can claim a single gross cash option payment of $1 million!

Talk about a great day for him, huh?!  Congrats Bobby!
