(Reuters) - The winner of a nearly $400 million Powerball
jackpot is a man who lives near Columbia, South Carolina, who declined
to be identified and said he hit it big on only his second time playing
the game, lottery officials said on Monday.
The lucky ticket that won the lottery late on Wednesday was
purchased at a gasoline station in central South Carolina, where the man
stopped after his wife asked him to pick up hot dog buns. He left with
$20 in Powerball tickets instead, lottery officials said.
He won the fourth-largest prize
in the lottery's history and the fifth-largest of any U.S. lottery, the
Multi-State Lottery Association said.
