At first, Jackson thought that he had just won $ 50,000 and was heading to Raleigh for collectibles, but he again watched and saw that he had gained a lot more.
"I said:" Dang, I got them all, "he said at the press conference.
He also stated that he had to find the jackpot amount on Google since he was not watching the news on TV. Once he did, he said to his wife, "You will not believe it, I understood everything."
Jackson said that he hoped the manna would not change anything.
