No doubt there are plenty of people trying to get more info on him in an attempt to get a piece of his newly found wealth.

It is ironic to see a Star Wars fan winning a lottery jackpot. I wonder if Darth VADER has won a lottery jackpot.LOL

You sound like my kind of woman baby! You marry that rich nerd and sneak off for awhile and spend some of that cash with me!

You know what im saying

With a state income tax rate of 13.3% I don't think he will linger too long in California unless he doesn't mind sharing his future proceeds with a Government that is sinking in it's own debt.

I thought the photo of him---(his body) was funny...Now I am going to google him..I am sure he got a photo out there SOMEWHERE...I am thinking he's a Doctor or Science nerd or a t -shirt wearing rich man----mmmm LET'S SEE ..LOL

It's photo's like this that make you know the lottery is not rigged!

A man wins 142 million dollars in the clear in his 50's and he shows up wearing a star war's yoda shirt hiding his face. What a coward geek haha! He might actually get to kiss a girl on the lips for the first time now with that kind of jack haha!

It woulda made better drama for someone to show up demanding a picture taken outside showing his face driving a dukes of hazzard General Lee replica with a couple of hot gals h... [ More ]

A truly smart winner would be making plans to leave CA after the first of the year to escape the draconian tax structure there

The California lottery winners handbook still says winners will receive a check and no EFT (electronic fund transfers) are availible. I wonder how long a bank would put a hold on a check of that size, so it could be verified.

mediabrat — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:15:42 GMT

There is no mystery. Obviously he's allowed to do what he did, otherwise the lottery officials would have made him show his face for the photo.

Congratulations, lucky CA guy!!!

Would one of our members with a California Powerball ticket, from this month, please turn it over and read the back. Please then inform us if it reads something to the effect of 'winner's likeness is required to receive prize'. Thanks, in advance, for solving this check-covering-face mystery for me

He was so smart to hold the check over his face!!!! BRILLIANT

Congrats to Mr. Buxton. If Buxton or anyone in that neighborhood where that winning $425 million lottery ticket was bought, is wearing that T-shirt, featuring Yoda and those words: Luck of the Jedi I have would be mobbed by lottery fanatics and unscrupulous characters! Mr. Buxton, please don't wear that T-shirt again

Congratulations B.Raymond Buxton. How about him hiring a PR firm! That's a new one on me.

Good to see that he plans to set up a charitable foundation for pediatric health,child hunger, and education.

Another 2014 multi-millionaire doing good with his new found fortune

Awesome! I wish him luck as he embark on his new journey in life. It is quite ambitious to venture a charitable foundation on pediatric health, child hunger and education. It will take a multi-billionair to see the fruit of such endeavour.

Sole winner of $425M February Powerball jackpot claims prize

Lottery Post — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 13:45:32 GMT

The sole winner of February's $425.3 million Powerball jackpot came forward to claim his prize Tuesday.

California Lottery officials said B. Raymond Buxton, a Northern California man, claimed the prize at the California Lottery headquarters in Sacramento.

'Unbelievable!' is all I could muster, Buxton said in a statement on Tuesday. Once the initial shock passed, I couldn't sleep for days.

After the winning numbers were announced, Buxton said, he sat in front of his computer in disbeli... [ More ]
