43-year-old Nelson Worley of Osawatomie matched the first five numbers in Powerball and won $1,000,000!
The winning numbers in the July 20 Powerball drawing were 14-25-27-38-58 Powerball 6. Had Worley matched the Powerball number in addition to the other five numbers he matched, he would have won a $141 million jackpot.
Worley said he used to always let the computer pick his numbers for him, but about a month ago he started to pick his own numbers, too. His winning $4 ticket had two plays, one with numbers Worley picked himself and the other with numbers picked by the computer. It was the Quick Pick play that won him the $1 million.
They plan to use their prize money to pay off their house, buy a swing set and make some investments.
