Powerball winner claims $400M, chooses to remain anonymous

Powerball winner claims $400M, chooses to remain anonymous, The single winner of last week's $400 million Powerball ticket came forward in South Carolina to claim his prize, lottery officials have confirmed.

However, the new millionaire has decided to remain anonymous.

According to South Carolina lottery officials, the winner is from the Columbia, S.C. area and this was only the second time he's ever played the lottery.

The winner told officials he purchased the ticket after stopping for gas at the Murphy Express last Wednesday in Lexington, S.C. He explained that he only went inside the store because his wife wanted him to get hot dog buns.

Though the store didn't have buns, the trip wasn't exactly a waste of his time. The man said he decided to purchase $20 worth of lottery tickets after noticing the swelling Powerball jackpot.

The winning numbers were 7, 10, 22, 32, 35 and Powerball 19.

Officials wouldn't say if the man took the $223 million lump sum or the 29-year annuity.

Powerball ticket prices doubled from $1 to $2 in January 2012. The lottery game is played in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. According to Powerball's website, the odds of matching all six numbers are about 1 in 175 million.

Heidi Montag fake break-up

Heidi Montag fake break-up, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag—the whoriest of the famewhores, the most promotional of the promosexuals, the couple that took Paris Hilton’s famous-for-nothing vocation and turned it into a winking, nonstop enterprise—are careful to say that they have no regrets. Living a fake life for the sake of cameras worked for them for years. Until it didn’t. They’re broke and living at Spencer’s parents’ beach house in Santa Barbara because of the free rent; Heidi’s body and face are forever changed from plastic surgeries she now wishes she had not gotten; their relationships with friends and family are severely damaged; and they have found themselves largely unemployable, both on camera and off. We discussed these issues over lunch recently at the couple’s favorite restaurant, Don Antonio’s in West L.A., where I had interviewed them three years earlier when they were at the top of their game with MTV’s docusoap The Hills, working every lever of the celebrity i...

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...
