He elected for the one-time $4.8 million option, taking home $3,444,014 after state and federal tax withholdings. “It’s all luck and it was my lucky day yesterday,” Harris said. He plans to use his winnings to buy a new truck, work on his house and pay some bills. Four $8 million prizes and nine $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed in the $8 Million Money Maker game.
