MEET THE WINNER OF THE $553M JACKPOT.
Yes, you read that right. But this time is not a betting site as you may have expected. Someone in New Jersey;US, won $553Million lottery prize.
So let’s try converting that $553M to Kenyan shillings.That gets to a total of KES55,690,418, 000.00. The man who is a former Michigan resident, is a production manager based in New Jersey and he goes by the name Richard Wahl who is 47 years old.
The newest millionaire, says he bought the lottery ticket, March 30th at a gas station for $2 mega millions. Well, that paid off since he has more than half a billion dollars. However the wife does not believe in luck, so it was quite a task for Richard to convince her. On the other hand, the gas station owner received a token($30,000) for selling the ticket.
According to the lottery officials, they admitted that it was the fourth time the lottery prize hit the 500Million dollars mark.However, it was the first time in new Jersey since 1971 for someone to win a single lottery. Richard Wahl confessed that he would stop working and use the money to help his family and friends. He has been assigned a whole new team of financial advisers but he looks into more and more charity work for the people who are most deserving.
Well yes Richard might have won the $553M but the federal and state taxes will part with about $221M. he still believes its God’s plan. Talk of the Drake’s spirit.
Congratulations to him!
