Representatives from the Georgia Lottery gave Willis the keys to his new CTS sedan on August 28th.

The 2015 base CTS sedan features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission, which combine to produce 272 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This Cadillac also comes with an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.

Willis works as a supervisor at Kimberly-Clark and is married with two children.

Willis said he couldn’t believe that he won the vehicle and that his family will use it as their weekend car.
