2008 is off to a great start for a McLeansboro, Illinois man.
50 year-old John Swartz claimed a one million dollar prize at the Hoosier Lottery headquarters.
He won it in the scratch off game called One Million Dollar Solid Gold.
Schwarz bought the ticket at the Circle S Mart on Highway 41 north in Evansville.
He says he'll invest most of the money, but he will splurge for a new truck and a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
