“I am a little guy, but I am a big dreamer,” Larry Dawson stated. Mr. Dawson said that he will use some of the money to enlarge his business, a financial services firm. Kathy Dawson said that her husband is often called “Lucky Larry”, because he has an outstanding ability to make bad golf shots which turn out to be great. She recounted a story about his shot hitting a tree and bouncing right back on the fairway. The couple had read a book about winning the lottery, and they started playing about 4 months ago. Armed with the recommendations given by the book, Larry finally managed to hit the jackpot.

“We were just getting to the point where I said, “You know, this just isn’t worth it. I don’t think I am going to do this anymore. But we played one more time and…it’s kind of nice,” Larry Dawson stated. Powerball lottery
