“Thank you so much! This is the best news I’ve heard all morning,” he laughed.

“This is so surreal. I’m wondering if I’m having a hallucination right now.

“My daughter is next to me and she’s shaking with excitement.

“You must have the best job in the world.

“I’m an old man so I’ve been playing for a long time. I’d say around 40 years at least. I’ve never given up hope.

“I once won $2,000 but that’s nothing compared to this.

“The numbers are all family birthdays so it’s pretty special.

“We’ll pay off the mortgage and I wouldn’t mind a new car.

“Gosh, I need to sit down now.”
