He already has plans for his first purchase.

“I’m going to get a new set of irons,” Romans said.

He arrived at lottery headquarters on May 10 to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $71,506.

“It’s my birthday in a week,” he said. “This is a nice early birthday present.” 

Romans said he also plans to pay some bills with his winnings.
