LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Retired railroad engineer Hank Robinson has been playing the same Lotto numbers since the game began in 1989.

On Sunday he learned that they had finally paid off to the tune of $9.2 million.

The 81-year-old retired in 1993 after working a total of 61 years. He would still be working if it wasn't for a quintuple heart bypass.

He won $9.2 million during the July 14 drawing but because he took the cash option, he only won $4.6 million. And he will have to pay taxes.

He plans to spend a lot of the money helping family members as well as replacing his 1993 minivan. And he will continue to play the same Lotto numbers -- 14, 17, 21, 31, 36 and 38.

Robinson said he expect life will be pretty much the same after he's a multimillionaire. After collecting his winnings on Sunday, he said he planned to enjoy a game of Scrabble with his sister.

Robinson's sister, Beverly, began playing five of the six numbers when Lotto began in 1989. After she stopped playing, he decided to play her numbers with one change.

The $9.2 million jackpot was the largest prize since Nov. 16, 2002. The probability of winning the jackpot is one in 5,245,786.

The King Soopers store in Lakewood that sold Robinson his winning ticket receives a $5,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
