Mega Sena$314.3 Million Powerball Prize
Thursday, December 13th, 2007David W. Coterel, a retired General Motors employee from Riverside, Ohio, and David W. Coterel Jr. and daughter Lynn Hiles of Dayton won the largest prize ever by the Hoosier Lottery and the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
Lynn quit her nighttime postal worker job two days later and David Jr. quit as a machine repairman a day after that.
“The hardest part was a lack of sleep,” said David Jr. “You lay down and your mind races: What am I going to do? What am I going to do? There’s a lot of questions.”
The winning ticket was purchased at a Speedway store in Richmond on August 25. The largest Powerball jackpot ever to that time, $295.7 million, was sold in July 1998 to a group of 13 co-workers from a factory in suburban Columbus, Ohio, from a Speedway just three miles away.
Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, Powerball is a 29-state game with some of the word’s biggest prizes.
The winning numbers were 2, 8, 23, 29 and 35, and the Powerball was 19.
