California Powerball winner, a nail tech, claims $228.4 million prize

Published January 08, 2015

Nail technician Vinh Nguyen says he just wants to be a normal man, but he's going to have a lot more to spend than most people after winning the $228.4 million Powerball ticket this week. California lottery officials said Friday that Nguyen bought the winning ticket at Dehoff's Key Market in San Mateo on Wednesday and showed up at their offices yesterday.

The market also gets $1 million for selling the prize ticket.

The lottery says Nguyen told them he bought 15 Powerball tickets before the drawing, and picked his numbers at random.
