BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A
47-year-old man from Krotz Springs told his co-workers he was "going to
win some money" before checking his Powerball ticket, and that's just what
he did.
David Stelly matched the first five
numbers of the Sept. 29 drawing but missed the Powerball, making him the
state's newest $1 million winner. Stelly received $700,000 after state and
federal taxes were withheld. The winning numbers drawn were: 14, 18, 28, 29, 57
and Powerball 8.
An avid motorcyclist, Stelly said he
buys his Powerball tickets every weekend at Hebert's Boudin & Cracklins in Opelousas. The store will
get a one-time $10,000 bonus, 1 percent of the prize, for selling Stelly the
winning ticket.
Stelly says he plans to set aside
college funds for his children and perhaps buy a new motorcycle.
