"The girl at the pharmacy told me they sold Powerball tickets at customer service," Buck said. "I told her, 'If I win I'll come back and buy you a car.'"
Buck's ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn Monday night, earning him a $50,000 prize that was doubled to $100,000 when the 2X Power Play multiplier hit.
"I didn't hit the jackpot so I can't buy her a car but I'll definitely bring her something," he said.
Buck said finding out he had won the prize was a shock.
"I kind of just walked around the house a little bit," Buck said. "I was shaking."
He said his winnings will go toward his retirement savings.
