"Sometimes I mistakenly look at the numbers wrong," he said in a release. "First I called my wife...She didn't believe it so I took a picture of it to show her."
Presley took home $71,250 after required state and federal tax withholdings.
He said he plans to use the winnings to do some home improvements and save for his daughter's education.
