QUOTE
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A 29-year-old Missouri convenience store clerk has stepped forward as the winner of the $258.5 million Powerball jackpot.

Chris Shaw was introduced at Missouri Lottery headquarters Thursday as the winner of the Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night's drawing.

Shaw bought the winning ticket Wednesday at the Break Time store where he works in the central Missouri town of Marshall.

Lottery officials say Shaw will have to choose between a one-time cash lump sum of nearly $125 million, or a 29-year, 30-installment annuity.

Break Time will receive $50,000 for selling the winning ticket. If Shaw chooses to take the lump sum amount, the state will receive $6 million in state income taxes.


sure he can buy alot of budweiser and nascar with that money now.

Glad to see it happened to someone that needs the money at least.

Why is it that its always either someone who is already really rich or someone who is a complete redneck that wins the lottery? headshake.gif
