Apparently, Long had big plans for his potential winnings: “I already told my old lady if we win we’re going down to Myrtle Beach for about 10 months and we’re getting a timeshare and the whole nine yards…maybe a big boat, a couple boats, a lot of boats, and we’re going to have a great time.”

For what it’s worth, Kyle tweeted tweeted that he doesn’t think his brother was wearing a disguise. He also said he “won the powerball because I never bought a ticket.”
