If by some chance you don’t end up matching all five numbers and the Powerball for the big jackpot, there are other ways to win as well.

MLive reported that Jeff Smith of Stanton, Michigan, won $1 million due to matching the five white balls drawn in the January 17 drawing. He won his money and before even being able to officially claim it, Smith walked into his job and quit.

“Even a month later, I’m still in disbelief,” Smith told Lotto officials.

With his winnings, he’s going to buy a new truck, pay off some debts he still has, and then do some fishing while enjoying retirement. He’s never been a big Powerball player, but he said that he got “a feeling” to play.

After learning he had won and going into his job to quit, Smith made sure to play it safe.

“I put the ticket in a safe while I got my affairs in order before coming to claim the prize.”

Saturday night’s drawing for $80 million is something that a lot of people were anxiously watching and paying attention to. They watched as the numbers popped up one-by-one and then settled into place.
