Thomas Daige, of Leicester, won the seven-figure sum in the Dec. 14 multiple-state Powerball drawing. Someone in Ohio won $47.9 million in the same drawing. 

Daige correctly guessed the first five numbers in the drawing on his Quic Pic ticket.

Daige claimed his prize — worth $1 million before taxes — on Friday, Jan. 24, in Dorchester. He said he plans to put the winnings toward his retirement and treat himself to a new set of golf clubs.

He bought the ticket at Leicester Package Store, 869 Main St. in Leicester. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale. 

The Powerball is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Monday's jackpot is worth an estimated $56 million.
