A military vet may be the winner of one half of the $587 million Powerball jackpot. Two winning tickets were sold in Missouri and Arizona, according to Lottery officials. As of this morning, only one winner has come forward — a husband and wife from Dearborn, MO. The other possible winner may have been captured on a convenience store camera at the moment he realized he won.
Surveillance video at a gas station in Upper Marlboro, Md., shows a bald black man with a thick build approach the counter with lottery tickets in his hand. After scanning the tickets, the man excitedly shows the ticket to the cashier and to store customers.
Cashier Kamran Afgan told NBC News the man said, “Oh my God,” after he realized he was holding the winning ticket worth $293.7. Afgan said he didn’t get the chance to scan the ticket into the Lottery machine because the man took it back so quickly.
The man told Afgan he was from Maryland. The ticket was an Arizona ticket, Afgan told NBC News. The man was wearing what appeared to be the uniform of a Maryland highway worker. The driving distance between Maryland and Arizona is about 2000 miles.
The winning Powerball numbers drawn Wednesday night are 5-16-22-23-29 and a Powerball of 6.

lucky bastid!
this is kinda rude =/ what if he planned to claim anonymously?
He did better than me. I would have fallen the hell out in the middle of the store.
Hope he’s not forced to come forward till he’s ready.
they better not show their faces!
then they gonna get all types of unknown ass family members out the woodwork, trying to get furniture out of layaway and gold teeth out of hock.
I am sooo happy for him and the other winner. May they have a life filled with joy and happiness. May the blessings continue to rain down on them.

Dude was SMART!
I’ve read too many stories where store clerks told the winners that they did NOT win….then they cashed the tickets in THEMSELVES.
Ion blame him.
Good for him. Hopefully he will do well with his new windfall.
@ gelly
ugh! i hope someone doesn’t kill him
@ whang

“AY– remember when i let you borrow a pen at work yesterday? can you lemme hold $5,000 so i can pay off my payday loans?”
Dang, as soon as i attempt to set up a blind trust, this pops up. Smh, so much for anonymity

Why do some comments have pics in them? Yall seeing that too?
KingMe no, I never saw that but I did see a documentary once and there was a man who won the lottery THREE TIMES and this fool is bankrupt.
Too late they showed his face on GMA this morning. They also said he was traveling through AZ but has not been seen since :LOL:
Thats right get the hell outta dodge
Just recently some store clerks were charged with that. They waited until the day before the five years expired to claim it. Somehow it corrected itself though and the rightful owner got his paper but the man had been homeless and all kinds of destuitute in that time frame. They had actually told the man he won $5000 and gave him that.
Sandy,
It’s Friday suga. According to the Constitution it’s supposed to be a party up in here. No Morning Wood/Glory, none of several salacious pop culture stories that are floating around right now, no mess. You mad at us?
Hey HisBad
it’s an emote Man
I would have been SICK you hear me?SICK. Since my husband is military he got to pay 400K to get out. Nope. If he had to punch someone out so be it. That’s a lot of money. Even sharing half is enough.

I think I heard about that.
But did y’all hear about the African American man named Shakespeare? Couldn’t read nor write….
He was homeless…won the lotto…his friend who bought the ticket for him sued….and some yt woman who tricked him into signing over power of attorney to her…said she wanted to write his life story..well…
She ended up killing him and burying his body…she just went to court this week I think.
So sad.
