A Missouri Lottery player in Saline County is planning his wedding after winning a $1 million Powerball prize in the July 19 drawing.
The winner explained he purchased the Quick Pick ticket while on a donut run at Casey’s General Store, 121 E. Eastwood St., in Marshall.
“I checked the ticket Friday after work,” he said. “I heard someone had bought a winning ticket from the same place I bought mine at.”
Sure enough, his ticket matched all five white-number balls drawn to win a $1 million “Match 5” prize. The winning numbers were 7, 10, 11, 13 and 24, with a Powerball of 24.
“We plan on getting married soon,” the winner added when asked about his plans for the winnings “Then we’ll take a vacation, buy a house and invest.”
Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is estimated at $145 million.
