It’s every lottery player’s dream: a ticket to the Mega Jackpot. American Americans were now so fortunate and had to make a difficult decision.
Milwaukee, USA – He’s 24 years old and financially strapped for life. More: Manuel Franco can afford to pay $291 million.
The story is unusual: Franco, who won the third largest Jackpot in US history, almost overlooked the continuation of his new life. The real “Powerball” lottery ticket is firmly stuck in another account. He happened to notice this after checking the other tips. Profit exceeds all expectations: 768 million dollars. That he only invested ten dollars in tips.

The state collected $151 million in taxes from lottery winnings
Franco had a choice, whether he wanted to receive the full earnings in installments over 29 years to repay – or prefer $477 million directly. After careful consideration, he decided on a one-time payment, and therefore decided on no more than a third of the profit, $291 million to be exact. After taxes, it’s still an astronomical $326 million for him.
Franco also shows a big spender: $100,000 he wants to give to a local gas station, which he bought in late March as a Jackpot ticket.

Lottery winner recalls: “I started screaming”
Wisconsin law allowing lottery winners to remain anonymous. So Franco had to present himself to the public at a press conference. There he told me that he had quit his job: “I just couldn’t work. I was sweating profusely – my colleagues noticed. I would have told you some of the profits. But didn’t I just go to work.”
He remembered the press conference in a moment, because he realized that he had the right numbers. “My heart started pounding, my blood quickened, I was hot. I started screaming.”
A small mistake is that the Faber lottery was expensive: you had to be 20 times larger than planned – and over 300 people were richly blessed.
For almost a year, a message from a couple from Canada was lost in the lottery. Especially embarrassing, because this was a million Canadian dollars. But then an amazing coincidence happened.
