At the presentation of the gift, the man was given the choice to either get the whole $1m yearly payment over the course of 30 years or take $640,205, 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, YEN.com.gh 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 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.
