NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A $4 million win was music to a Columbia man's ears.

Glasco said he wasn't sure what he would do with his new multiple millions, but he said he's starting by paying off his house.
Glasco and his wife went to Nashville together to claim the prize.
“We’ve been blessed,” Glasco said to his wife. “I never thought something like this could happen to me.”
