INDIANAPOLIS MAN KEEPS HIS COOL AFTER HOT $1 MILLION POWERBALL WIN
July 23, 2012
“Buy sour cream” is probably not the first thing most people would do after winning $1 million. That’s exactly what Robert Goul of Indianapolis did. After checking his Powerball ticket at an Indianapolis Kroger store and discovering he had won $1 million, Goul went ahead and finished his grocery shopping.
“I just went ahead and bought the sour cream I went after,” said Goul.
Goul’s quick pick ticket matched the first five numbers, but not the Powerball number, in Saturday’s drawing. The winning numbers were: 9-31-38-54-56 PB:20.
Goul’s immediate plans for his winnings are only slightly more ambitious than his initial reaction.
“I want to go home and sleep,” said Goul. “I didn’t sleep at all last night.”
Ultimately the native Hoosier has bigger plans for his winnings. He wants to pay off his mortgage, buy an SUV for his fiancé and invest the rest.
The lifelong Indy resident purchased his winning ticket at Murphy USA at 10723 Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis. He said winning is “overwhelming.”
