CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) -- A Woonsocket man says he plans to buy a house and pay off his bills after claiming a $2 million Powerball jackpot from last month.
Rhode Island Lottery officials said Thursday that Lonnie Jackson Jr. claimed the jackpot from the Feb. 6 drawing. He bought the winning ticket at AJ's Mini Market in Woonsocket.
The ticket matched the five numbers of 5-27-36-38-41 but not the Powerball number 12.
Jackson says he couldn't believe it when the clerk at AJ's told him he had won. He says he also plans to buy a truck with a plow for clearing snow and take care of his family.
Jackson thanked his lawyers, the market and lottery officials.
His ticket was the second $2 million Powerball winner in Rhode Island this year.
