Someone in Lapeer, Michigan can now afford a world-wind vacation to Tahiti on private jet staying in the most luxurious resort, a new mansion in St Tropez equipped with a private chef and chaueffer, and that penthouse apartment on Central Park they've always wanted. A gas station in the small town sold the $337 million jackpot-winning Powerball ticket making some person one of the luckiest people in the world, literally.
The winning numbers were 6, 27, 46, 51, 56 and Powerball 21. There hasn't been immediate word on who the lucky winner is but Betr Odish, whose family own the gas station just 45miles of Detroit said to The Washington Post, "It's exciting," as customers approaching the counter offered there congratulations.
The winner could take home $241 million in a lump sum. The Michigan Lottery said that Odish and his family, who owns the gas station will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
The ticket holder has one year to come forward in order to claim the multi million dollar jackpot and that the identity of the ticket holder will be released after they contact the lottery.
