NY Trucker Wins $298 Million Powerball Jackpot

ย 

New York truck driver, David Johnson, recently won the second largest Powerball Jackpot in New York Lottery history; totalling $298.3 million.

In regards to his job, David says, โ€œIโ€™m not going to work, Iโ€™m quitting right away!โ€ He adds, โ€œI canโ€™t even eat. I start and canโ€™t finish my food. Iโ€™m happy with joy inside.โ€

Johnson works across the street from the gas station where he purchased his winning ticket. He said he was aware the Powerball winner went to the same location; however, he didnโ€™t realize it was him until he checked his ticket a few days later!

The New York Lottery is North Americaโ€™s largest and most profitable lottery and provides close to 13% of total state education aid to local school districts.
