Shock, Relief, and a Valuable Lesson
The man, who chose to stay anonymous, shared that he was shocked and a little nervous when he realized he’d won. Because his ticket wasn’t registered, he feared that if he lost it, the prize would be gone forever. “It felt like a dream,” he said. “I kept checking and re-checking the numbers.” Thankfully, once he contacted lottery officials and confirmed the win, the relief set in. He has since decided to always register his tickets going forward, just to be safe.

So, what’s he planning to do with the money? First up, he’ll be paying off his mortgage, a huge burden lifted off his shoulders. But he’s not stopping there. He also wants to help his adult children buy their own homes. “It’s not just a win for me,” he said. “It’s a win for the whole family.”
The winning numbers in the draw were 36, 9, 37, 35, 23, and 29, with 20 and 31 as the supplementary numbers. While every lottery draw brings hope, stories like this make people believe that maybe, just maybe, their lucky day could be next.
