Donald Hector of Rockford matched five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing of July 10 to win a very respectable $250,000!

Don and his wife Gloria, who have been married for 47 years, already have plans for their windfall; they intend to help some family members.

“I have a son, two grandsons, and a nephew that I’d like to help,” Hector said. A vacation trip to Alaska might also be a possibility.

The winning ticket was sold at Rockford Amoco #35 located at 470 E. Division St. in Rockford.
