A Missouri man who won half of a $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot– the second-largest ever awarded in the U.S. – says in light of his newfound wealth, that he’s “going to just do me for a year.”
The winner, who was not named by lottery officials, plans to take some time off work and enjoy his portion of the prize. A Powerball player in Texas won the other half after also matching all six numbers, drawn on September 6.
