Manuel Franco, just 24 years old, became the happy winner of the third largest lottery prize awarded in the United States. The young Hispanic man laughed, the last one he reviewed was the one that contained the six winning numbers.
"It was incredible. My heart raced… I screamed for five or ten minutes,”he recalled of the moment he discovered that he had become the jackpot winner of the popular Powerball. "Fortunately my neighbors did not listen to me."
Despite the fact that the total prize was awarded by The Washington Post newspaper, he adds that after tax deductions, the amount of money that the lucky winner will receive will be around $ 326 million, not bad!
Under Wisconsin state law the young man was unable to remain anonymous, so to claim his millionaire award he had to reveal his identity. One in 292.2 million was the probability that a person could have the prize winning ticket.
