Fox News reports that Coleman spent $2 (R32) on the sequence of numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, which appeared to him in a dream. He later matched all six winning numbers for the draw, after which it dawned on him that he had chosen the correct sequence.

"Since he split his $2 wager four ways when he bought the ticket, he had four sets of numbers. Using the 'Play Your Way' feature, he won $250,000 on one of his sets of numbers," lottery officials revealed.

The officials added that the odds of winning any Bank a Million prize are one in about 18 while the odds of clinching the jackpot are one in 3.8 million. Coleman disclosed that he was still coming to terms with the windfall, especially given the manner in which he won.
