CHESTERFIELD, Mo. (Jan. 29) - A retired electrician and World War II veteran is the winner of the largest lottery jackpot ever sold in Missouri - worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

Jim Wilson II, 84, and his wife, Shirley, 79, say they will share the money with three sons. One of those sons, Terry Wilson , who said he hasn't had a vacation in 30 years, likely will be headed to Australia for some rest and recreation.

How will the big windfall affect this family?
It will make them happy
It will make them miserable
Only time will tell

Hard-Luck Lottery Winner Says He's Broke
Tells Lawyer Thieves Emptied His Bank Accounts
AP

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Jan. 12) - A man beset by problems since winning a record lottery jackpot says he can't pay a settlement to a casino worker because thieves cleaned out his bank accounts.

Powerball winner Jack Whittaker gave that explanation in a note last fall to a lawyer for Kitti French, who accused him of assaulting her at the Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center, a slots-only casino near Charleston, according to a motion French's lawyer filed this week demanding payment of the confidential settlement.
