Kenneth Launius of Camden purchased the winning Quick Pick NSJ ticket at Sparky Food Mart at 504 W. Main St. in Sparkman, the lottery said in a news release. The winning numbers for the Oct. 16 drawing were 9, 17, 20, 33 and 39.

“This can’t be real,” Launius said, recalling his first thought when he realized he'd won. “I couldn’t wrap my head around it, so I asked one of my daughters to double-check the numbers."

Launius' daughter compared the winning numbers to her father's ticket and started to cry, according to the release. Those tears signaled he had, in fact, won.
