March 26 (UPI) — A Virginia man’s routine of playing online lottery games to relax after putting his kids to bed resulted in his winning a $200,000 jackpot.

North Chesterfield resident Larry Bailey told Virginia Lottery officials he plays online lottery games every night to help him relax before bed, and on March 18 he selected the Bucks Triple Play game after putting his kids down for the night.

Bailey said he was shocked to score the $200,000 jackpot.

“I’ve seen those pictures of big winners, but I never thought it would be me,” he said. “I’m in shock!”

Bailey said he has no immediate plans for his winnings, besides taking care of his family and possibly taking a family vacation.
