Winning $400,000 for one Mississippi man turns out was easier than knowing his multiplication tables.

Officials from the Mississippi Lottery announced that a Bay Springs man recently won the top prize in the “$400,000 Multiplier Mania” scratch-off game.

Even though the game was called “Multiplier Mania” and required players to find the winning numbers and then multiply the winnings by a multiplier, no math was needed because the multiplier for the $400,000 prize was 1X — easy math and easy winnings for the man who bought the ticket at Keith’s Superstore #117 in Bay Springs.
