It was New Jersey resident Robert Stewart's very lucky day.

Who the heck is this guy?

Robert Stewart of New Jersey won prizes on not one, not two, but three state lottery scratch-off tickets in a single day. Oh, and one ticket was for $5 million.

The retired union worker from Bergen County purchased the biggest-winning ticket at the Rivermart in August, lottery officials recently announced. The clerk called the store's owner, who rushed over to congratulate the new millionaire. 

The $5 Million Fortune game costs $30 per ticket and is the most expensive scratch-off card in New Jersey's lottery.

Later that day, Stewart bought two more scratch-off cards, winning $500 and $100.

He said he plans to use the money to help his family.
