ALBUQUERQUE. N.M. (AP) - An Albuquerque man has come forward to claim a $2 million prize in the Powerball game from the New Mexico Lottery.
Lottery officials say Robert Swartwood’s quick-pick ticket for Saturday’s drawing matched the five white ball numbers to win $1 million.
He doubled his prize to $2 million by adding the $1 Power Play feature to his ticket, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes.
Swartwood says he plans to share his prize money with his large, extended family and invest in his engineering business.
