Benito Colunga Guerrero is a contractor from Texas who specializes in building hotels. With a major client and several projects ongoing in Indiana, Benito has been living in the Hoosier state for the past couple years, although he regularly travels back to Texas to see his six kids.
Whenever he is headed back to Texas, Benito stops at the Circle K at 106th St. and College Ave. in Indianapolis to fuel up. After getting gas, he was walking out of the store when he remembered that there was a Powerball® drawing that night. He turned around and headed back inside to purchase a few tickets, choosing his numbers based on his children’s birthdays, as he always does.
When Benito checked his tickets the day after the drawing, he was shocked to see he matched all five white balls and won $2 million due to the 2X Power Play® he added to his ticket!
Benito recently bought a large plot of land in Texas and began building his dream home. With the construction costs already budgeted for, Benito’s first priority is purchasing an RV. After living out of hotel rooms the past two years, it will give him a chance to have his own living space when he’s in Indiana. His second priority will be a couple of all-terrain vehicles to help him traverse the acreage he now owns in Texas. After that, he’ll splurge on some fun items for his kids and put the rest of his winnings in savings.
