“I don’t check online so I have to wait till I remember to check in store,” he said in a Monday news release. “I think it’s more fun at the checker to just put it underneath the scanner and see.”

After realizing he won, Hosmer says he walked home to show his wife.

“Our vehicle is aging so we’d like to get a new one for sure,” he said. “I’m still thinking about what else I’d like to do with it.”
