The man who keeps Powerball lottery winners safe and anonymous after their win

Rick Kenny is now $100,000 richer after purchasing a losing scratch-off ticket. It's pretty hard to win the lottery if you don't win the lottery.But one man from Virginia Beach, Virginia, is defying expectations. Rick Kenny's scratch-off ticket in the $100,000 Home Changer game was initially a losing draw.

Kurt D. Panouses is a lawyer who specializes in keeping lottery winners out of trouble. In this video he was interviewed after one of two winners of the Jan. 5, $632.6 million Powerball prize had bought a ticket in Wisconsin.

He talks about several ways he advises winners so they can stay safe - even traveling by private jet where necessary, and hiring a car to collect the jackpot check.

The winners will split the $632.6 million jackpot -- the seventh largest in the American lottery game's history - giving them $316.3 million, or $225.1 million cash before taxes.

The January drawing was the 40th and largest in the Powerball jackpot run, according to Powerball officials. The winning numbers were 6, 14, 25, 33, 46 and the Powerball was 17.
