INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - "A retired auto worker and his two adult children claimed a $314 million Powerball jackpot Monday after waiting two weeks to step forward."....Neither of the two adult children have any kids and their mother Dorothy, died of cancer three years ago."....... "Both Lynn Hiles, 46 and her brother David, 42, have quit their jobs...they decided to take the cash option and they will collect $145,985,099 before taxes....$105 million after taxes."...... "The elder Coterel, 65, who is retired from General Motors, bought the quick-pick ticket the afternoon of the drawing....the winning numbers were 2, 8, 23, 29, 35 and the powerball was 19."....... "The Speedway convenience store in Richmond, along the Indiana-Ohio state line that sold the winning ticket, is about 3 miles away from the other store that sold the $295.7 million Powerball jackpot to a group of 13 co-workers from a factory in suburban Columbus, Ohio, in July 1998."...... That is so awesome......

Congratulations! I wonder how long that money will last. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they start a business and since the adult children have no kids, maybe they can consider adopting some. I wonder what they are good at. Mind you I would never win any money because I do not gamble, my husband on the other hand is always buying lottery tickets.
