"I play Powerball a few times a year and usually play special number combinations made up of birthdates," said Llewellyn. "A few days after purchasing my Powerball tickets, I logged in to my account to purchase a Mega Millions ticket. When I saw my account balance, I knew I'd won big on Powerball and I couldn't believe it! I called my wife right away and she thought I was playing a joke on her."
Llewellyn purchased his tickets on the Michigan Lottery website and he plans to invest his winnings.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Nov. 19 and the current jackpot is at $124 million.
