“I thought, ‘I gotta play a lottery ticket”.

Millard said he doesn’t know how he will spend his new fortune and added: ‘I don’t want to squander it’.
“Describing what it was like to learn he’d just won a Powerball jackpot, he said it all happened when he returned to the gas station where he’d purchased the ticket – Gas Mart, 6901 Hampton Ave., in St. Louis”.
“The store clerk verified that he did indeed have the winning ticket”. He ended up at Golden Rule Liquor, at 7753 Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. That jackpot is $39 million after a winning ticket was sold in New York on September 11 for a $106 million jackpot. But last weekend’s jackpot – worth an estimated $208 million – wasn’t enough to initially entice the 54-year-old man to play.
While the psychic’s messages may have pushed him to buy his winning ticket, Millard says he’s going to trust his own judgment when it comes to his winnings.
With no six-number match yet, the Powerball jackpot continues to climb. That means the totals for the Saturday, September 26, game have risen beyond the $250 million mark.
Here’s how it all breaks down so you can start dreaming about what you will do with your windfall if you end up beating the 175 million to 1 odds. Millard’s odds were 1 in over 5 million.
