America’s Got Talent winner Richard Goodall isn’t going to take his good fortune for granted, he told Gold Derby magazine.

The middle school janitor won the hearts of America singing Journey’s “Faithfully,” and his faith was rewarded singing with the band on Tuesday night’s (Sept. 24) finale belting “Don’t Stop Believin’”.

“I go into every single section of the show with no expectations, and so when he called my name, I was flabbergasted,” Goodall told Gold Derby after his victory. “It’s not very often that I’m speechless. Not just with winning the show, but I sang with Journey on the show, so pinch me!”

So what’s next for Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer pick? For one thing, he isn’t giving up his job at the school just yet. And he and his wife, Angela, have modest plans for the $1 million prize money.

“Then we want to invest a little bit of the money smartly and just do whatever is called. We might rent or lease a nice RV and just kind of tour around different places,” he added.

“I need to be smart,” he continued. “That’s a lot of money, but that kind of money doesn’t always go very far if you’re just being stupid. There’s TV shows about lottery winners that win the lottery and two years later they’ve got absolutely nothing. So we’re gonna be smart about it.”
