“I was like, ‘Wow, this is wonderful,’” said the lucky man.
Francis couldn’t wait to tell his wife about the victory, so he went to her room to wake her up.
“I told him: ‘Wake up, I just won $100 a thousand dollars. She said, ‘You’re lying,’ so I showed her the numbers and she jumped up.”
Francis claimed his prize at lottery headquarters on Friday 26 of August, taking a total of $71,049 dollars after paying state and federal taxes.
