Man wins 5 crore jackpot after breaking one small habit; wants to use the money to pay for his daughters college

A Maryland father who had played the same lottery numbers twice a week for years finally hit the jackpot after changing one small habit. Instead of scanning his ticket like usual, he manually checked the numbers and realised he had won $570,000 in the Multi-Match lottery. The shock reportedly left him anxious for weeks before he officially claimed the prize, which he now plans to use partly for his daughters college tuition.
