$96 Million Winner Claims Powerball Prize
The sole winner of November 11th’s Powerball Lottery drawing has claimed his $96.6 million grand prize.
Donald Damon of Great Bend, Kansas, matched a six numbers to bring home the multi-state lottery top prize.
For the Damons, there could not have been a better time to win such a huge amount of money. He was forced to retire in January after 27 years as a truck driver. His daughter, Karen, lost her job in August at Great Bend hospital. Damon’s wife, Kathleen, works three jobs at the hospital, senior center and beauty shop, to pay the bills.
It’s definitely a great story to here how some one who truly needs it, wins.
The jackpot has since reset and now is up to $32 million for this coming Saturday night’s draw.
