Los Angeles (GaeaTimes.com) Chris Shaw, a gas clerk at a convenience store, is the Powerball Missouri winner of Wednesday’s $258 million jackpot. The 29 year old bought the ticket from the convenience store Marshall, where he works. His winning numbers were 11-34-41-49-55. He also chose the right Powerball of 20. Chris Shaw winning the Missouri Powerball is headlines everywhere because this is the largest Missouri Jackpot ever.

He reportedly said that he bought the tickets because he

thought somebody is going to win; there are too many people buying tickets.

Chris Shaw was previously a truck driver and he started working at the convenience store of late to be closer to his family. His luck has now allowed him to spend plenty of time with his family.

Chris Shaw stated that he had only $30 in his bank account and with this money he received, he plans to pay off debts and wants to take his family to the Disneyworld. I suppose his life itself is a story of the Disneyworld fantasies.
