Minnesota Powerball Winner Announced

By Associated Press

A Waseca, Minnesota, man had tears in his eyes as he and his wife claimed their Powerball prize of $180 million today.  Paul and Sue Rosenau say they are still in disbelief. The 54-year-olds claimed the prize and decided to take a lump sum of $88 million, which results in about $59.6 million after taxes.

They don't know what they'll do with the money yet, but Paul Rosenau says he doesn't want their lives to change much. He plans to keep his job as a heavy equipment operator.  The couple says the win came on the fifth anniversary of the death of their granddaughter, who had a genetic disease. So, they say, some of the money might go toward efforts to fight that disorder.

Rosenau says he bought his winning ticket while purchasing gas and groceries in Faribault.  It's the 20th Powerball jackpot won in Minnesota since the game began in 1992.
