'I heard that there was a winner': Man comes home from a trip to find out he won $1 million
George Boston’s $2 ticket matched all five white balls, and the Warrenton man took home more than $720,000 after taxes, lottery officials said.
- George Boston, a resident of Warrenton, North Carolina, won $1 million in the Powerball lottery after discovering his ticket matched upon returning home from a trip.
- After returning from a trip to New York, Boston heard rumors of a local lottery winner in Warrenton and checked his ticket on the table.
- His $2 ticket matched all five white balls, securing the prize. The lottery reports odds of matching all white balls on a Powerball ticket are about 1 in 11.6 million.
- Boston recently cashed in on his winnings, receiving more than $720,000 after taxes. His ticket did not match the Powerball, which would have increased his potential winnings to more than $20 million.
- While Boston claimed his prize, a separate ticket holder in Illinois won the $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot. The lottery continues to drive interest by offering increasingly large jackpots.
