A Man Named Chris Shaw Reported to be the Powerball Winner in the Missouri Lottery
According to Missourinet, an employee of Break Time in Marshall Missouri is having a very good morning this Earth Day, as he has won $258 million on the Powerball Lottery.
Chris Shaw is an employee at the Break Time; now he could afford to buy it if he wanted to. He told Missourinet, he does not even play the lottery, but got caught up in the excitement of it all yesterday.
“I just knew it was big. I sold tickets all day yesterday when I worked yesterday I sold tickets all day and then at the end of my shift I went ahead and bought a ticket and I bought my girlfriend a ticket. Then this morning she called me and told me that this store had sold it we had sold it and i thought no way, you know,” Shaw said.
Apparently Chris Shaw is not going to change his lifestyle now that he is so rich, but he has said that he will remember those who helped him out when he had nothing.
What Were the Winning Powerball Numbers?
11-34-41-49-55, Powerball 20. The Power Play number was 2.
What Can Chris Decide to Do Now?
Chris Shaw has two choices about what to do with his winning ticket. He can take a one time payment, minus the tax of course of about $124.8 million, or he can take 30 payments over the next 29 years.

Chris,I was sitting here wondering if i could face another day tommarrow my gas will get shut off cause I cant aford to pay it. I lost my job at the end of January and my 7 yr old daughter got sick and was in the hospital for 5 days, I recently started a job that pays min wage and hardly any hours I am so far behind I cant get caught up and funny thing is when you get a utility turned off they make you pay all these extra charges to get them back on...dont make much sense if you didnt have the money to pay the bill to begin with then how are you going to pay the extras, anyway I happened to read your story which I heard a little about but not many details nd I realized good things do happen to people like you and I. It makes me happy to know someone won who actually needed it and will appriciate it so congrats to you and your family and dont change who you really are jusgt because you have a few extra dollars in your pocket money can be the root of all evil as you know the other side of it of not having any..God bless

Hi Chris, Congratulations on the win, I am a single widowed Mom raising a six year old, her father died when she was nine months old. I currently clean houses and I am grateful for the work, however I have been asking for the financial backing to start my own business in herbs, I have been educating myself over the years, and I use a great product that has been in existence for many years. I just kept getting the message to contact and ask you for the help, I live near Sedona Arizona where there are over 350,000 tourist a year and only one health food store this company is well known, the results from the products are quickly noticed, I just ask for the financial backing to be a success in this business. I look forward to your response.
