JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A central Missouri convenience store clerk with $28.96 in his bank account and a stack of utility bills to pay came forward Thursday as the winner of a $258 million Powerball jackpot.

Chris Shaw, 29, said he plans to use the winnings to pay off the $1,000 he owes a friend for a truck he recently bought, catch up on his utility bills, see a dentist about getting his two missing front teeth replaced, and take his three children and his girlfriend's two children to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Why is it always old people and guys like this?

Good for him

It looks like he could use it.

hey he might be a good guy trying to support his 3 kids. i say good for him.

Bah! :lol:

im hatin.

then again i didnt play lol

This.

Unfortunately, for people like him he will most likely waste it all and be back to the convenience store.

Like they say, you gotta be in it to win it.. Dude probably had a bunch of tickets and finally got lucky

Even if he does waste it...gunna take a while for that man to burn through that kind of money.
I wouldnt even know where to start with that cash.
Good for that guy.

:rofl: Don't lie.

"ZomGz guys I have a new camaro!!!!!!, it goes vrrooooommmm"

Help GM repay their bailout loans.

He's from Missouri. It's all going to meth.

Hope he helps his friend more than paying him the $1000 for the truck. :rofl:

lulz, fanboi pwn

allen iverson burned through 200m in pretty short order!

...and cases of Natty Light :rofl:

"i could buy a double wide trailer now.."

All I know is I'd know what to do with that money. And we'd have one wicked playhouse.

I'd buy property while the market is down so I could have something to hand down to children. Thats if the country holds on.

My most expensive item would probably be a bomb shelter equipped with plenty of doomsday necessities.

There would be plenty of cars. I doubtfully would ever work again and I'd do LOADS of traveling. Dive a different coast every week.

I'd take 10 million and blow it. Rest goes into a protected fund. To protect myself from myself and the money from other douches.

With my LUCK, I could what IF myself to death. I am THRILLED when I win $2.00 on a $5.00 rub-off ticket. It just means I LOST less. :shrug:

Yeah Bill, I think thats the best approach.
Id take 10 million for FU money, then buy some property here and there and rebuild it.
The other 220+ million Id just have invested into several different spots....

Exactly what I would do. Buy a plane, boatload of cars, some nice houses, maybe a pirate ship, then the rest into CDs, gold, silver, mutual funds, IRAs, etc.

I'd build myself an underground theme park that doubles as a bunker when then end of the world comes in two years. I'll ride my ferris wheel into extinction.

will it have a special seat made for sheep?
