HE BOUGHT TWO LOTTERY TICKETS IN HIS LIFE. THE SECOND WON HIM $533 MILLION

THE MAN PURCHASED THE WINNING TICKET AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT ALONG WITH A DIET COKE
DURING A STOP FOR GAS IN RIVERDALE, NEW JERSEY

The prize is the fourth largest in the game's history and one of the 10 largest
jackpots ever

Richard Wahl bought only two Mega Millions lottery tickets in his 47 years, and
one was a dud.

The other, purchased as an afterthought along with a Diet Coke during a stop for
gas in Riverdale, New Jersey, netted him a $533 million prize, the fourth
largest in the game's history and one of the 10 largest jackpots ever.

"It's not only life-changing money for me, but I want it to be life-changing
money for others," he told reporters on Friday. "Family, friends, people in
need. So we're going to try to do some good things with it."

Wahl, a production manager at a food-service company who only moved in July to
New Jersey from Michigan with his family, said he would use a financial team to
help decide how to dole the money out between his family, friends and others. In
particular, he is thinking of his mother, who lives on a reduced income, and the
family of his wife, in Mexico.

But he's also got some ideas for himself, like a vacation, rebuilding a 1960s
Corvette and, hopefully retiring from his job.

"We're not the type that's going to run out and spend all the money," Wahl said,
according to ABC. "We're a humble family. We'll keep our roots."

Wahl and his family opted to take the payment in a lump sum of $324 million, or
about $175 million after taxes.

He told reporters on Friday about the moment when he learned he was the winner,
during the March 30 drawing.
