RALEIGH, N.C. – A retired fire department employee in North Carolina is the winner of Saturday's Powerball lottery jackpot.

Frank Griffin of Asheville came forward Monday to claim his prize. The lump sum payment is about $47 million after taxes.

The 66-year-old owns a janitorial services company and used to be a driver and engineer for the Asheville Fire Department.

He says he wants to take care of his three children and grandchildren and take his wife on a trip to Hawaii. He also plans to play more golf.

The Saturday jackpot was worth a $141 million annuity or almost $70 million in cash before taxes.

When you receive a email from someone you don't know use caution. If you receive a letter from a company or individual that claims they have money for you that you did not contact first...Beware.

If a foreign country is mentioned hit delete and do not respond to it. Also look for red-flags like spelling errors and poor grammar. A long strange tale of need or assistance with finances may come with the letter or email but it's always a ploy to entice you out of your money.

Kentucky Couple Wins $128 Million Powerball Lottery

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —  A central Kentucky autoworker is lucky he held on to the $128.6 million Powerball ticket he bought on Christmas Eve during some last-minute shopping — after all, it was printed by mistake.

Lottery officials said Rob Anderson and his wife, Tuesday, were winners of the largest jackpot in the state's history.

On Wednesday the couple was introduced at the state lottery headquarters in Louisville. The Andersons said they didn't initially believe they had won the $128.6 million jackpot after buying lottery tickets together for 12 years.

"We didn't hit it, that's not us," Rob Anderson said he told his wife after showing her the winning ticket the morning after the Dec. 26 drawing. "Something's not right!"

Rob Anderson, 39, said the winning ticket was a misprint that he decided to keep while buying stocking stuffers at a Georgetown, Ky., gas station. He wanted to buy $1 lottery tickets for three people, but the clerk goofed.
