A construction worker from Texas, who currently works in Loving, New Mexico, has been named as one of the newest millionaires after winning the Powerball lottery. Earlier this week, Jose Sarabia received a check worth $2 million after visiting the lottery headquarters to claim his prize.

Interestingly, the humble construction worker, who works in Loving, New Mexico on weekdays and only goes back to Texas on weekends, might not have won if it wasn't for a mistake from a gas station clerk.

Fox News Latino reported that Sarabia had an interesting and unique way of winning. On a random day for the construction worker, he went to a gas station in Loving to purchase a single lottery ticket. However, the sales clerk printed out two tickets that she urged Sarabia to purchase.

The publication further revealed that Sarabia's friends did not want to purchase the ticket, so he shelled out an extra $1 to get the other ticket, which paved the way for him to receive $2 million from the Jan. 6 lottery draw.

Meanwhile, KOAT reported that Sarabia claimed his prize at the New Mexico Lottery Albuquerque headquarters on Monday afternoon and was even photographed while holding a giant check that had $2 million written on it.

Of course, Sarabia had a giant smile on his face. According to him, the prize will be used to help his parents and his church as well as to pay off his house and cars. The surprise win was a turning point in his life and the gas station located at 100 N. 8th Street in Loving was a big part of it.

Fox News Latino asked Sarabia if his friend, who did not purchase the lottery ticket, had regrets. "No. It was my ticket," Sarabia answered. "It was meant for me."

Meanwhile, the news outlet also reported that the Brewer Oil Loving Chevron is now eligible for a $2,500 New Mexico Lottery bonus. Sarabia now has a ticket that may or may not be a win for this coming Wednesday's Powerball jackpot lottery.

ABC7 reports that the estimated jackpot for Wednesday is at $1.5 billion and lottery officials reveal 85.8 percent of possible number combinations have already been selected.

Furthermore, winners can be paid in annual payments for 29 years or decide on getting a lump sum of $930 million.
