1 alleged Powerball win may be a prank

John and Lisa Robinson said they plan to pay off the mortgage on their small house in Munford, Tennessee, pay off their daughter Tiffany’s student loans and go back to work. “They are responsible. They’ve always lived within their means”, said Cole, who owns an auto parts store in town”, Cole said. “You just can’t sit down and lay down and not do nothing anymore”, said John Robinson.

One winning ticket for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing was sold in California, at the 7-Eleven at 4092 Chino Hills Parkway in Chino Hills.

The winning numbers are: 4 – 8 – 19 – 27 – 34 and Powerball 10. As lottery players searched online to find out who had bought the three winning tickets in Florida, Tennessee and California, they found a slew of hoaxes, including social media accounts from people saying they had won and promising followers a piece of the prize.

The Robinsons seemed aware of at least some of the risks, even as they flew to NY – bringing along the family dog, they said – to tell the world that their future income has suddenly grown to more than half a billion dollars.

On Thursday, word began to spread that the California lottery victor was the recipient of a Rechnitz ticket.

Tennessee lottery president Rebecca Hargrove said Friday that John and Lisa Robinson had the winning ticket and the lottery had verified it. The Robinsons are from Munford, Tennessee, a small town about 25 miles north of Memphis.

Lisa Robinson said her husband was asleep when the numbers were called.

“I’m a firm believer in tithing to my church”, Robinson said in an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show.

The rescue dog also appeared with them during the press conference at lottery headquarters in Nashville, snoozing through most of the excitement.

To receive the full jackpot amount, winners must accept a multi-year annuity, whereas the lump sum cash payout for the jackpot was about $983.5 million, lottery officials said.

When co-host Carson Daily asked whether he was nervous about carrying a ticket worth more than $100 million in his front pocket, Robinson admitted that, “Now I’m nervous because everybody knows”. Throughout Thursday, without confirmation from California lottery officials, the Journal made clear that this apparent lottery win was unconfirmed.

The victor, who has seven children, six of whom are also nurses, was working Wednesday night when the numbers were drawn, and finished her shift before going home around 11:30 p.m., according to a report from ABC7 in Los Angeles.

Robinson said he was scared after he learned that he won. Smith said. “Everybody you knew in high school and elementary…”

“I don’t think it’s very amusing”.

He did, four times, then thought: “Well, I’ll believe it when the news comes in on the morning and they say there’s a victor been in Munford”.
