“St. Charles Couple Claims $96.5 Million Powerball Jackpot
“A St. Charles man and his wife are living the dream that they "never in a gazillion years" expected to have, after they discovered their Powerball ticket from March 22 was worth $96.5 million. John Brands said he checked his Missouri Lottery tickets with the numbers on the Lottery's website the morning after the drawing, before heading out to play golf. When all six numbers matched, he went to wake his wife, Susan.
"’I thought the house was on fire,’ she said. ‘I thought he was messing with me.’After showing her the ticket and the website, the pair said they "walked around the house shell-shocked."‘I almost fell over,’ Susan said remembering the moment she saw all six numbers.
“John, a civil engineer, has already quit his job, but Susan, a student studying web design, plans to finish out the semester. John is originally from Portageville, and Susan grew up in Wichita, Kan. Both the Brands are 49-years-old.”
Check back in with us on Wednesday night to see if you are the next big winner.
Until then, keep hoping and stop working.
