LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) -- The Latest on the winners of last
Saturday's $429.6 million Powerball jackpot (all times local):
3:50 p.m.
A New Jersey family that has claimed a $429.6 million Powerball jackpot says it will tithe 10 percent to the church.
The
New Jersey Lottery said Friday that eight members of the Smith family
have the sole winning ticket purchased in Trenton for last Saturday's
drawing.
Valerie Arthur says the ticket was
purchased by her 70-year-old mother, Pearlie Smith. The money will be
shared among Smith and her seven adult children.
She
spent $6 for two tickets for drawings held last Wednesday and Saturday.
Lottery officials say they chose the smaller lump sum payment over the
higher valued annuity. So the $6 investment will yield $284 million
before taxes.
Arthur says the family has hired attorneys to help them plan and will take a trip to their usual family vacation spot.
