Bryan Boushell is an unemployed truck driver who has struck it big in the lottery, winning $1.2 million this week after playing the lottery Multi Match. Bryan was amazed to find that he had won such a large amount but did not realize how much he had won until his wife’s mom told him.

Bryan had bought the ticket at a local gas station and checked the numbers the following morning on the internet. He realized that all six numbers matched what he had picked and he got really excited! Bryan said he was jumping up and down and called his wife Donna. The couple believed they had won $500,000 but Donnas’ mom told the couple that they had actually won $1.2 million.

Donna then started crying she was so happy and excited. Bryan and his wife decided to take the $750,000 cash option and will eventually get $500,000 after taxes. They are going to pay off their car and student loans and then put some in the bank. The couple had also scheduled a Caribbean Cruise but was going to have to cancel because Bryan had become unemployed. Not the couple will be able to enjoy their vacation in relaxation.
