BLACK MAN IS 1 OF THE WINNERS OF THE $588 MILLION POWERBALL JACKPOT
One of the two $588 million Powerball jackpot winners has been revealed. We’ll get to them in a second.
The Arizona winner’s identity has not yet been revealed BUT surveillance footage (above )from a gas station in Maryland reportedly shows a construction worker discovering he has the winning ticket. The video shows the man walking into an Exxon in Prince George’s County and checking his ticket, which he said he brought 2,500 miles away in Arizona.
The man, dressed in a neon yellow jacket, then fist pumps as he checks again before handing the ticket to the clerk, who told the news channel it bore the winning numbers. We will soon see- check the video below.
Meanwhile, Missouri lottery officials officially introduced the Hills (family above) as winners Friday in front of reporters and townspeople gathered at the high school in Dearborn, which is about 40 miles north of Kansas City. 52 year old Mark Hill bought the winning ticket in Dearborn, Missouri.
The Hills chose to take their winnings in a lump sum, not annual payments. Lottery officials estimated the cash payment at about $385 million, or about $192.5 million for each ticket.
The oversized novelty check handed to the Hills on Friday was written in the amount of $293,750,000, but Missouri Lottery spokeswoman Susan Goedde said that after taxes, they will receive about $136.5 million.
We’re still stunned by what’s happened,” said Cindy Hill, 51, who was laid off in June 2010. “It’s surreal.”
The couple have three grown sons and a 6-year-old daughter they adopted from China five years ago. They said they are now considering a second adoption with their winnings, and they plan to help other relatives, including their grandchildren and nieces and nephews, pay for college. They’re planning vacations, and their daughter, Jaiden, wants a pony. Mark Hill has his eye on a red Camaro.
