Graling and Carol H. of Manalapan purchased the winning ticket at Rinal Convenience Store at 546 Park Avenue in Freehold. Graling often plays the New Jersey lottery, usually the 100X the Bucks game. He has won smaller prizes before, and with each win he purchases more tickets. This time he purchased the $2,000,000 winning ticket. The state lottery announced their win Monday, Aug. 28.

Graling and his wife said that the first thing they will do with the money is pay down their debt and bills. They put five children through college and post-graduate degrees, and said this money will greatly help out their family.
