The doting dad shared he “refused to believe” the winning news until he received a phone call from lottery officials confirming his newfound fortune.
“I don’t think I’ve been better!” he laughed.
“It’s so awesome. One million dollars! I refused to believe it until I received a phone call from The Lott. I haven’t even told anyone, but I’m itching to tell my wife.
“I can’t believe it. It’s so amazing.
"I’ve got four kids. We don’t own a home and have been renting for quite some time, so this will finally let us buy a place to call our own.
“I’ve got a busy day at work today, but it will be hard to concentrate!
“This is the best phone call I’ve ever received.”
