The U.S. Powerball lottery has awarded a jackpot of nearly 300 million dollars.
According to U.S. media reports, the winner, David Johnson, is a truck driver from the Brooklyn area of New York, and he purchased the winning ticket at a gas station. He recalled that on the second day after Christmas last year, he was very sick, but he still got up to go to work to earn money. Although he only had 5 dollars in his pocket at the time, he still bought a lottery ticket for that day's draw on his way to work.
However, because Johnson was so seriously ill that day, he didn't bother to check the winning numbers. Later, a colleague told him that the winning ticket came from the gas station he often visited, but Johnson still didn't realize he was the lucky winner.
Fortunately, a few days later, Johnson suddenly remembered to check the winning numbers and found out that he had won the jackpot. At that time, he stared at the numbers on the gas station's lottery board for a long time, unable to believe his eyes. "There was only me and one cashier in the store at the time, and I was so excited that I was jumping up and down," he said.
To prevent the winning ticket from being lost, Johnson hid it in his jacket pocket. He felt that even if there were robbers at home, they wouldn't target his jacket.
It is reported that after winning, Johnson immediately quit his job, "I quit my job right away without any hesitation." On the way home, he turned up the music in his car, listened to songs all the way home, and then told his family the great news. He excitedly told his family, "I've hit the jackpot! I'm rich! I don't have to work anymore!" Johnson plans to continue living in New York and is preparing to invest and buy a red Porsche.
