A lucky $768 Million feeling!
A 24-year-old Wisconsin man stepped forward Tuesday to claim a US$768 million Powerball prize, the nation’s third-largest lottery jackpot!
Manuel Franco says he “pretty much felt lucky” the day he bought his tickets and has been worried that people want to steal his ticket.
Manuel was sorting through $10 worth of quick-pick tickets after the March 27 drawing and thought he had checked all his tickets.
Then he saw one last ticket stuck to another one and as he matched the first two numbers, then glanced at the Powerball to see it matched too, he says “I was going insane. I looked back at the three other numbers, they all matched. My heart started racing, my blood started pumping, I felt warm. I started screaming.”
