I want nothing to change, says $315m lottery winner


By his own account, Andrew Jack Whittaker was already blessed and he was wealthy
by most standards when he turned up yesterday to claim his $314.9m (197m) lottery winnings.
"I've been blessed my whole life," Mr Whittaker said after picking up his cheque in
Charleston, West Virginia. "If I can help it, nothing is going to change. I'm content."
The owner of construction companies with an annual turnover of $17m, Mr Whittaker,
55, was remarkably calm about his windfall. After all, he told reporters, he was not even a
regular lottery player. He only bought tickets when the pot grew larger than $100m.
He said his first action would be to offer money to three pastors of the Church of God,
where he is a regular worshipper. The next largest portion of the winnings, which shrink to
$111m after tax under the immediate payment option chosen by Mr Whittaker, will be used in
the familyowned engineering companies.
Mr Whittaker said the companies, which specialise in the building of water treatment
plants, had recently laid off 25 employees and he wanted to provide new jobs to get them back
to work. Reporters eventually coaxed from Mr Whittaker the admission that he had been
thinking of buying a helicopter, but he kept on saying that his lifestyle would remain the same.
He would rise every day at 5am, and then drive over to the petrol station and
convenience store in Hurricane for his morning biscuit, just as he did on Monday when he
bought the winning ticket. "I tell you every morning when I wake up I feel like I've won the
lottery," he said.
It was the first time in US lottery history a single winner has taken such a huge prize.
Britain's biggest individual win on the national lottery was in 1995, when Terry Benson of Hull
won 20m.
