Since the Powerball is no longer 700 trillion dollars, lottery talk has died down here in the U.S.

Perfect timing for Riley McBride to swoop in and win himself and nice chunk of change!

McBride, of Davenport, bought a Quick Pick Mega Millions ticket at a gas station in Hillsdale, IL earlier this week and opted in for the $1 "Megaplier".

That ended up being a great call.

Because of that extra $1 purchase, McBride landed himself $5 MILLION!

Congrats, Riley! Can we be friends?
