A man who turned two one-dollar bills into a multi-million-dollar windfall in Nebraska has claimed the prize -- more than two weeks after learning he'd won.
Steven Herber had one of three tickets that matched all of the numbers drawn December 22nd in the Multi-State Lottery Association's Powerball game.
Tickets bought in Arizona and Pennsylvania also matched all six numbers, meaning the $30.9 million jackpot must be split three ways.
Herber chose the cash option worth $5,662,888.20.
After state and federal tax withholding, he picked up a check today in Lincoln for $3,964,022.
Herber says he has various plans for the prize, but didn't elaborate.
it's absolutely fascinating to ponder that playing two quick-picks can take home a Powerball jackpot ...and browsing the musl jkpt archive, it's happened a number of times during the past few years
$2. I like when 1st and 2nd prize winners only spend a dollar or two. It's like sticking a middle finger up at the odds lol
I like how he'll get paid to the penny, er, dime.
