(LEX 18) — A northern Kentucky man matched five numbers on a Powerball ticket from Saturday night's drawing, winning $1 million.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was one number short of winning the $60 million jackpot.

He matched the five white ball numbers but not the Powerball.

The man got an email from officials informing him he had won the $1 million prize.

He received a check from lottery headquarters for $715,000 after taxes.

According to lottery officials, he plans to use the money to help his family and save for retirement.
