The winning ticket matched the five white balls in the drawing (03-19-35-51-67), according to lottery officials.<\/p>\n“They day after the drawing, I saw an email from the Lottery that was different from the ones I\u2019m used to when I win a few dollars,” Roy said. “I knew I must have won big, but I wanted to wait for my wife to get home so we could find out the prize amount together.”<\/p>\n
When they saw the $1 million prize, he said they were both in disbelief.<\/p>\n
“All I could think was: \u2018Is this a joke?\u2019 It still feels unreal,” Roy said.<\/p>\n
