But after so many years, the man managed to get the correct numbers again, and his sheer perseverance landed him a $35 million lottery jackpot. The man bought $2 worth of lottery tickets and got back $35 million, there is no better deal in the world. However, the man from Hallandale Beach, Florida, said he is more than happy with his jackpot but he doesn’t want any sort of attention for it.

“I don’t want a situation where people are going to be camping out in my yard,” Paul Hemphill stated. “I just want to melt into the woodwork.”

“It’s just a satisfaction knowing I have the security to take care of my family,” Paul Hemphill added as he was contemplating how he will provide a brighter future for his family and close ones. Powerball lottery

Paul Hemphill said that he uses some kind of a computer software to pick lottery numbers for him and that he has been playing at the Florida State Lottery ever since it came into being in 1988. Paul also said that the numbers he chose back in 1995 were also provided by his computer software.

Things have been tough on Hemphill and he even had to declare bankruptcy in 1998, but he said that he always felt as if he had somebody watching over him and making sure he pulls through.

On the morning of May 29, Paul woke up and turned on the TV. The numbers were on, and when he saw his combination on the screen (7, 36, 41,42, 44, 47) he had a most suprising reaction.

“I looked at the first two numbers and said, ‘I’ve got it,’ and I went back to bed,” Paul Hemphill said.

He chose the lump sum option, and the remaining $20,574,470 were deposited into the account of a company he had founded to receive the prize. Hemphill said none of this would have happened if it weren’t for that computer software.
