Arizona man claims other half of record Powerball jackpot

Powerball

Remains anonymous

Looming tax increases prompt hasty claim

PHOENIX, Az. — Fallout from the looming fiscal cliff has drifted into the Powerball arena.

A man who lottery officials announced Friday has claimed his half of the $587.5 million Powerball jackpot, decided to collect the winnings now and not next year because of the financial uncertainty posed by the nation's ongoing financial impasse.

The man, who is in his 30s from a wealthy Phoenix suburb, decided to remain anonymous after he bought $10 worth of tickets and kept the winning slip in the visor of his car overnight before realizing he was a multimillionaire.

He gave $20 to the cashier of a Fountain Hills convenience store, and the clerk nudged him to spend the entire amount on tickets. He declined the offer.

After the man and his wife learned of their good fortune, the husband pulled together a team of financial advisers and decided to take all of his share this month to avoid potentially higher taxes in 2013, said Karen Bach, a lottery official.

"He did have concern with the uncertainty with the fiscal cliff in 2013," Bach said, referring to the federal fiscal situation that could result in higher income tax rates.

The man and his lawyer met with lottery officials Friday, and he opted to take the cash option of $192 million before taxes. Lottery officials said his wife owns half the prize because Arizona is a community property state.

"He and his wife couldn't believe it," Bach said. "They checked the numbers over and over again — absolutely shocked."

Bach said the man is smart and wants to take time to make a solid financial plan and set up a charitable entity to aid causes that he and his wife support. Lottery officials say the man told them he enjoys his job and has no immediate plans to quit.

The unidentified winner later issued a statement that said: "It is difficult to express just how thankful we are for this wonderful gift. We are extremely grateful and feel fortunate to now have an increased ability to support our charities and causes. Obviously, this has been incredibly overwhelming and we have always cherished our privacy."

The statement directed all inquiries to an Arizona law firm, which didn't immediately return a call after business hours Friday.

A mechanic and his wife, Mark and Cindy Hill, of Dearborn, Mo., already have claimed their half of the multistate Powerball prize.

The jackpot was the second-largest in U.S. history and set off a nationwide buying frenzy. At one point, tickets were selling at nearly 130,000 a minute.

Before the Nov. 28 drawing, the jackpot had rolled over 16 consecutive times without any winners. In a Mega Millions drawing in March, three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, the largest lottery payout of all time.

Lottery officials said the Arizona couple moved from Pennsylvania a year ago. While in Pennsylvania, the couple regularly played the lottery but had done so only twice since moving to Arizona, Bach said.

After realizing he had won, the man and his wife spent the weekend "trying to recover from the shock," Bach said.

Hmmm...

I didn't realize construction paid so well to where he would be able to already be living in such a wealthy suburb. Is this Arizonia winner the black construction guy that was caught on camera or was that video a hoax? 

Congrats to him! It should be a very fun Christmas and New Years for the newest powerball family! :))

This would be idea of how I would claim if I ever won in my own fantasy world..lol  I would wait a couple weeks and claim anonymous and avoid all press conference. I would  NOT wait the two-six months non-sense like some people talk about on here. If my ducks weren't lined up within that time frame then I would march right down to lottery headquarters and get my check, even if that meant I had to be in the spotlight . lol

Where is the real winning ticket picture? Was the Afro American man on the video the real powerball winner?

They should allow us to claim anonymously in every state, so we do not have to ask these questions.

there was one ticket in Maryland with the power play option that matched 5 numbers without the Powerball. My guess is that the guy in the Maryland surveillance footage may have been the guy that won a secondary prize.

They should deny anonymity to anyone who cashes a ticket, then these question would already be answered.

If higher taxes will make sensible people claim prize under lower tax situation, why does this administration thinks I raising taxes on rich won't have an adverse impact on job creation? And using Warren Buffett as a prop is the same as one saying all black people are built like Herchel Walker; his situation is not applicable to all "rich" people, and there is a huge difference between someone who earns $200,000 to $400,000 per year AND someone whose net worth is in excess of $30 billion! Apples and oranges folks. Even Buffett avoids paying too much in taxes.

There's a big difference between billions and millions.  The odds of winning a PB jackpot is a lot less than even  1:1 billions, it's 1:175 millions.

The ticket sold in Maryland for $250,000.00 was claimed by a woman early in the morning, the day after the drawing. She was featured on the news for several days. She claimed she picked her numbers which were the ages of family members and made the mistake of writing down a 5 as the first number instead of a 3. The mistake earned her the $250.000.00. She stated she has poor vision which cause the mistake.

might have been the other jackpot winner.

I agree with you!  I can see if he started telling people he won and doing interviews but that was not the case.  However, I do recall a news reporter saying he did indeed talk to that man and he said he won (maybe the news reporter was lying just to get publicity).  He could have wery well won $10,000.

He knew he had not one anything over $1m so therefore, it was the stores fault for releasing that video and the media for making the story so big.  One thing, I am glad the couple in AZ went ahead and claimed the ticket.

A reporter had even tracked the MD man down to where he saw him getting into that black van and approached him.  The media sometimes cause a big ruckus in people lives without even knowing the truth.

So, let's give the man a break because he did not make a fool of himself, he never said he won--we never heard from him again.

Let's give MD. players another chance:)

Can't wait until the next big jackpot, at least over $100M before CA get in the game:)

Oh, one more thing--I live in TX and how come we have been off the map since 2007 for winning any major jackpot...gosh..

I feel so happy for this Arizona man...I admire because he is a smart guy and take out the money today before 2013 come.  I feel so jealous and envy of his wife, because she already have half of the $192 million.  Wow...they are both so happy...

Would you had felt jealous and envious of her husband had she bought the ticket instead?

The only way a QP player CAN win is by a stroke of luck......

This is for the skilled self pick players who didn't win.  I'm sure this would help hone your "skills". Sorry all the skilled players were "unlucky".

Win that Lotto
