Clerk Tells Everything About The $310 Million Powerball Winner, Except This...
/Cashier June Evans talks about her experience with the $310 million winner.
It was the second-largest Powerball jackpot win this year... a $310.5 million prize. And no-one in the town where the ticket was bought is saying a word.
UPDATE: Winner Found
The Sept 30, 2015 win was a single ticket bought by a man at a Shell gas station in southwestern Michigan.

Mystery surrounds the winner and rumors were flying about who it could be, but no one was naming names.
June Evans, the woman serving him, said he didn't want his identity known.
The ticket was sold in Three Rivers, some 30 miles south of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
"Don't tell anyone," he advised the cashier after checking that the numbers all matched.
Evans watched as each number appeared to match. He quickly turned and left, stopping after a step to return and ask her not to tell anyone.

But Regina Bontrager, manager at the Three Rivers West Shell, says she knows who the winner is.
A man who stopped in to buy coffee at the station said he knows the man who bought the winning ticket, along with his fiancée.
"He's been pacing around his backyard all morning," the man told mLive.

Michigan Lottery spokesman Jeff Holyfield confirmed that, "the winner or winners would need to contact us during business hours, which are 7:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m." he added in an email.
He said the "last big winner we had didn't contact us for a month so she could line up a financial planner and lawyer."
In February, three players from North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas split a $564.1 million jackpot.
