The winner of Missouri Powerball says that victory is "the best problem he has ever had" -

The historic winner of Missouri Powerball spoke to the press for the first time, although he still keeps his anonymity.

After winning a massive jackpot of $ 1.78 billion in the second largest Powerball victory, the lucky player has now spoke to the New York Post for the first time, while maintaining his anonymity. In Missouri, lottery winners can remain anonymous as long as they wish.

He went down to the lottery headquarters in Jefferson City to claim the massive price of a single payment of around $ 410.3 million on Monday, September 22.

“I’m like a home body,” said the winner. “The perfect day is home by doing what I do – relax. I am a millionaire, a multimillionaire, and I do the laundry last night … “

The lucky ticket was bought for the drawing of September 6, where he played the winning number of 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and the powerball of 17 in a Quiktrip convenience store in St. Louis. Since the victory was confirmed, he said that, despite feeling enthusiastic about the jackpot, he certainly disturbed his usual routine.

“This is the best problem I have ever had,” he said. When he supported his plans, he said that he and his wife planned to take a year for themselves and a quality time, with plans to let his wife slow down with regard to work.

“I’m just going to do myself for a year,” he added. “She’s going to drag me off the city now!”

A PowerBall record winner

The record jackpot must be separated between the man of the Missouri and another player in Texas, but the share of $ 893.5 million always makes him the largest winner of the Lottery Prize in Missouri. He could have chosen to have the total amount paid in several payments, or a single lump sum of around $ 410.3 million – which is the option he took.

Until now, four winning jackpots winning in 2025 have taken place the most recent in California and winning a lucky player a salary of $ 204.5 million on May 31.
