HAM LAKE, Minn. -- A Ham Lake couple is one million dollars richer.

Cathy and Jim Murphy bought one of the winning tickets in the Minnesota Millionaire raffle.

Cathy purchased the ticket from a gas station in Garrison -- while on her way to see friends last November.

Her husband had a hard time believing they had a winning ticket.

"He said how much did you really win?  I said I won a million.  He said no way.  How much did you really win?  So then I to pacify him I said I won a hundred thousand and when I got home, I had him count the zeros."
