Christmas Shopper Wins Powerball
KENTUCKY....
The saying it's better to give than to receive has been around for years. Thirty-nine year old Rob Anderson and his wife, Tuesday, of Georgetown can tell you a story about how a Christmas Eve trip to Walmart for Rob ended up with the couple winning the largest Powerball jackpot in Kentucky history. Rob Anderson says, on his way to the store, he stopped at the Pro Travel Marathon on Success Drive for lottery tickets to give as stocking stuffers. The clerk mistakenly printed one ticket with three lines of numbers for $3. Anderson decided to keep that ticket and get three more ... ending up with a $128.6 million ticket.
