“I’ve been playing it since it came out,” the winner said. “But I’ve never won this much.”
He said he had been watching for the numbers when he picked up his phone to check the winning numbers from that night.
“I saw the numbers, and I didn’t believe it,” he said. “I called my son, who was downstairs, and he looked at it, and he said, ‘No, that can’t be right.’”
He was shocked to discover his ticket had matched all six numbers drawn: 1, 11, 24, 30, 31 and 41.
