The 74-year-old Laurel man told Maryland Lottery officials he spent $10 on Powerball tickets for the Nov. 9 drawing at Modern Liquors in Temple, which he said is next door to the store where he usually buys his tickets.

The player matched four numbers and the Powerball on one line, earning $50,000, and one number and the Powerball on another line, winning an additional $4.

The man told officials he was unaware of his win until he finally checked his ticket this month.

The winner said he does not yet have any plans for his windfall.
