“It’s a weird lucky feeling. It’s not natural, not normal at all,” Franco told reporters, adding that he felt so lucky he even thought about winking at the gas station’s security camera while buying the tickets.

When checking his tickets the day after the Powerball drawing, Franco says he was already “super excited” when he first realized that he won a $4 prize with one of the other tickets before even getting around to checking the numbers on the jackpot-winning ticket.

But, his “heart started to pump and whatnot” when he checked (and double-checked) the ticket that won the $768 million prize.

“I screamed for about five or 10 minutes. Good thing my neighbours didn’t hear,” Franco says.

While some states allow lottery winners to remain anonymous after they win, Wisconsin is not one of those states, which meant that Franco had to reveal his identity in order to claim his prize.

He had 180 days to do so but waited for only a little under a month after the drawing. During that time, he says he hired a team of lawyers and financial advisors to help him plan out what he’ll do with his financial windfall.

While Franco promised that he won’t become “one of the people who went bankrupt or broke or anything like that” after winning the lottery, he also says he’s not entirely sure yet what he’ll do with his winnings.

However, he does plan to travel and pay for family members to go to college, and he also wants to donate some of his prizes to charity.

“I’m not sure what the next chapter is going to bring for my life,” he told reporters. “It feels like a dream, and it feels honest like, any moment, I’m going to wake up and I’m just going to be back in my room, in my beds.
