Powerball winner finally steps forward

20th April 2010 10:55 AM

A couple of weeks ago we brought you news of how the $211 million New Jersey Powerball winner still had not come forward to claim their monster prize but this week the Powerball winner finally steps forward and we can name her as Sandra McNeill of Morristown, New Jersey. It is unknown why the winner has taken so long to come forward but now she is $101 million richer after taxes as she is taking the cash option for the prize.

It was starting to look as though this may be one of the biggest ever unclaimed lottery prizes in the US, as the winner of the March Powerball Lottery jackpot had not come forward despite many appeals. But now the Powerball winner has stepped forward.

It would seem the Powerball Lottery winner was concerned about privacy and as such the winner had asked for new news conference of cheque presentation. Calls by journalists to her home have gone unanswered and it has been reported that she has taken a leave of absence from her job as a Morris School District Board of Education member.

We at World Lottery would like to congratulate Sandra McNeill on her massive Powerball Lottery win and if you would like to be the next big Powerball Lottery winner then it’s time to grab tickets for tomorrow night’s draw. The jackpot is a staggering $252 million and you can buy lottery tickets for the draw, from anywhere in the world by clicking the banner above. Good luck!
