While living in Missouri, I lived 1 block from 2 different stores that sold 2 jackpot winning Powerball tickets. Close, but no cigar. Good luck.I wish he would help his community too. I'm sure there are needy people there also. Probably, not as needy as the people of Vietnam. I get a little confused about resources leaving the country. Oh well, congrats to the winner.

wow. WA has only seen 10 2nd tier winners. well, i guess seeing as how they've only seen 1 jackpot winner total, and it was for less than $100 million. WA really needs to get off their butts and start buying tickets if they want to see it pay off.
