Chris purchased 5 $1 Powerball tickets, with numbers generated from the computer. Lucky for him, one of them paid off; the winning set of numbers was 11, 34, 41, 49, 55 with a Powerball of 20. When a friend called him the morning after the drawing, he checked his ticket and was amazed when he saw the winning numbers. Chris said that he might use the winnings to go to Disney World, buy a new car, and possibly a fishing boat.
This win marks the 26th Powerball jackpot ticket ever sold in Missouri. It is also the 10th largest in Missouri Lottery history.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Chris ! ! ! ENJOY, but spend it WISELY ...
Mr. Christopher Shaw;
Significantly wonderful to hear of a person winning what you have, the honest way because you sincerely deserve it. At age 48, I am a return college student in Business Administration and Pre-Law at Oral Roberts University. After spending 22 years in the funeral service profession in the Harrison, AR., Ava, MO., Dallas, TX., and Tulsa, OK., areas. After 31 full surgical operations is why I am re-training myself due to the heavy lifting factor due to the funeral career. What I want to stress, please be the way you always have been; the people I have worked around in the past that has inherited large amounts of money; simply forget where they came from or how they got there- eventually most of them hit ground zero, and are common laborers again.
Please get established with a good reputable lawyer, CPA, minister, and a well known and trusted stock-broker. The goal is to make more money, because the Salvation Army and Share-n-cares could appreciate certain donations, for a write off on certain incomes.
Mr. Christopher Shaw!! God has truly Blessed you!! I was so happy to see someone from Missour win!! You are a very young person who can really enjoy your money!! I hope you belong to a church and give 10% to your church!! There is a reason and a purpose for each one of us on the earth!!

Why are you people posting comments on here like you are talking to Chris...he is never going to read these! Is it because you want him to email you to "Thank" you? (with money)
Most lottery winner go bankrupt in less than 5 years. Lots and lots of people are going to be looking to him for money not to mention the gold diggers.
If I was him I would change my name, move to Canada, and tell no one that I am swimming in money. :P
Hey glad to see a person who really needs the money win. Hopefully he doesn't owe on back child support on the kids that he has with the 2 mothers. Plus with all the money that he has now, he can go get his teeth fixed & get himself made over. Then once he's done that, then move to a new city & change his name.
