Truck driver Robin Riedel won an Oregon Lottery game that awards him $1,000 per week, for the rest of his life.
The lottery organization said Riedel has played for more than 14 years and finally hit the jackpot on the Win for Life game May 8.
"I hit it. I hit it. I’m hoping to retire in another two to three years," Riedel said.
The lottery office said Riedel has made significant plans for his newfound fortune even though he intends to retire from his regular job in the upcoming years. He said he will use the money to pay bills, make home improvements, and go on vacation to Saint Lucia to mark his wedding anniversary.
