Entrepreneur Ali Raja launched his own beverage brand in the United States this year. The Carmel resident is always dreaming big and couldn't help but notice when the Mega Millions® jackpot had climbed to a large amount.

When Ali saw that the Mega Millions jackpot was over $400 million, he bought a ticket hoping to win the jackpot. Ali was working from home when he took a break and checked his Mega Millions® ticket. He was in disbelief as he matched four out of five numbers and the Mega Ball. Unsure of how much he’d won, he checked the Hoosier Lottery website and discovered he won $10,000!

Ali was home with his mom and dad, who joined him in celebration.

Ali plans to use his prize money to continue to invest in his company.
