“When it [jackpot] became big, my colleagues talked about it,” he said. “One of them said, ‘You have to buy a ticket.'”
His winning ticket matched all five white ball numbers — earning $1 million. Since he added Power Play, it has increased his earnings to $2 million.
The family plans to use the money to visit Jonathan Armstrong’s family in Pennsylvania in the fall, as well as buy a bigger house and a new car. Some of the money will also be donated to their church.
