The all new jackpot prize total for this week’s all new Powerball lottery game have risen to $120 million with an estimated cash value option of $76.6 million.
The official Powerball lottery website is reporting on one lucky winner of a $70 million:
“Patience is a virtue. At least that's the case for a St. Louis man, who after two decades of playing the same Powerball numbers -- a combination of family birthdays - is now reveling in a big jackpot win. The special numbers picked by Tom Rea, 62, matched all five white-ball numbers, as well as the Powerball, in the July 4 drawing to win the $70 million jackpot prize. He and his wife, Cathy, claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Jefferson City on July 24.
“I've been playing those numbers every Wednesday and every Saturday for 23 years,’ Rea shared.
“Describing what it was like to learn he'd just won a Powerball jackpot, he said it all happened when he returned to the gas station where he'd purchased the ticket - Gas Mart, 6901 Hampton Ave., in St. Louis. He just wanted to scan the ticket to see if he'd won anything, but within the span of a few minutes, the routine errand turned into a milestone moment.
"’I put it in there, and it said, “You won $70 million,”’ he said. ‘So I wiped the ticket under my arm and tried it again. It said the same thing, so I asked the girl who was working there to check it for me. I told her I wanted to make sure my eyes weren't seeing things."
“The store clerk verified that he did indeed have the winning ticket.”
