When William Armstrong and his wife Mary went out for dinner in Ozarks about a month ago, they weren’t hoping anything unusual would happen. Regular date night turned into the most amazing moment of their lives after they purchased Mega Millions ticket that made them $1.000.000 richer. You could win even more money in the next Mega Millions Max draw – buy a ticket for a chance to scoop $680.000.000!
The Armstrongs correctly matched the winning numbers 14, 38, 40, 53 and 70 with the Mega Ball 22 in the Mega Millions draw on May 11th. They purchased the winning ticket at Flat Creek Resort located on State Highway 173 in Cape Fair, but it took them a while to realize it was worth $1.000.000. When Mary remembered they didn’t check the numbers in time, she asked her husband to bring her the ticket, but he wasn’t too thrilled about this task.
“I waited until he got home from work and asked him if he had those tickets. They were in his truck, so I asked him to go get them. He was kind of annoyed with me that he had to go back out to the truck,” recalled Ms. Armstrong.
Her husband is looking forward to retiring next year, and this surprising stroke of good luck will allow him to do it without any financial worries in sight. They’ll use some of the money to fix up their house in Kansas City for sale, before they move to their home in Branson.
“We don’t need $500.000.0000. Just give us $1.000.0000 and we will be good! We always joked about winning. We were jumping up and down, crying.” said Ms. Armstrong.
