The winner didn’t even answer the initial call from lottery officials immediately after the draw but eventually picked up his phone to the life-changing news.
“Wait a second. Wait a second,” he said.
“Oh! Oh! Are you sure? Have you got the right person?
“This is unbelievable! I’ve won $100 million!? Am I dreaming? I’m a millionaire now.”
He asked the lottery official: “Can you say this one more time? Oh my goodness. Oh my god. I can’t speak. I feel dizzy,” he said.
“I’ve slapped my face twice, it feels tight.
“I’m with my wife right now. She’s in shock.”
When asked how he planned to enjoy life as a newly minted multi-millionaire, the occasional Powerball player admitted he would keep working but looked forward to buying a new house.
“I will continue to work,” he said.
“But I need to process this a bit more.
“Maybe I won’t in the future.”
His beloved wife stopped him in his tracks and questioned if he would really continue working.
“Working? We’re multi-millionaires now,” his wife added.
“We’re going to buy a new house and set ourselves up for the future.”
