“I was so surprised,” he said. Luna Luna won his big prize on a $10 play in the Wheel of Bonuses game. The odds of that win were 1 in 3.1 million.
He said the first person he told was his wife.
“She was like, ‘Are you serious?’” Luna Luna laughed.
He arrived at the lottery headquarters Tuesday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $73,150.
Luna Luna plans to use his winnings to go on vacation and get a new car.
