"We're just normal human beings. We're as common as anybody. We just have a little bit more money," Cindy Hill told reporters. The Hills, who appeared with their three sons and adopted daughter, said they were still trying to digest what has happened to them and haven't thought too much about what they're going to do with all that money.
"I think we're going to have a pretty good Christmas," said Cindy Hill, 51. "We're going to go on a holiday and take all our kids and grandkids. And I think we're going to set up accounts for all the kids, grandkids and nieces and nephews for college." The family also plans to donate a substantial portion of their winnings to charity, Hill said, adding "how much does a person need?"
The owner of the other winning ticket, which was purchased in Arizona, has not yet been announced but a security camera may have caught his dance of joy. Freddy Lopez, a cashier at Marlboro Village Exxon in the Washington, D.C. area, said the beefy, bald man - seen in a store surveillance video in a bright yellow construction outfit - was a regular customer "in the military" who lived nearby.
"He didn't know (he was a winner) until he checked his tickets and he found out he was a millionaire in here," Lopez told AFP on Friday. "He couldn't believe it. He said, 'goddamn it, I got it, I got it,' and then he started jumping up and down," the cashier said, adding that the man was so excited he forgot what he came for _ to fill his tank with gas.
