Missouri man Christopher Shaw, who had just $28.96 in his bank account, has come forward to claim a $258 million Powerball Lottery jackpot. Shaw purchased the ticket in Marshall, Missouri at the gas station where he works.

With his winnings, the 29-year-old father of three said he was going to pay off some utility bills, pay a friend back the $1,000 he owes for a 1998 Ford Ranger he bought from him, and get his teeth fixed. He also said he was going to take his kids to Disneyland. Shaw also said he wasn't sure if he was going to quit he job at the gas station.

Does Shaw know how much money he has won? Perhaps he thinks he's won $2580? Pay off utility bills? Return a $1,000 debt for a truck? Is Shaw aware that he can buy the utility company? That he can pay his friend back 100 times over and buy him and everyone else in Marshall a Porsche?

Shaw, who was making $100 payments to his friend for the Ranger, told the Associated Press, "We didn’t come from money. For us it’s just going to be a huge relief to know I’m going to be able to pay my electric bill, my gas bill. It’s like a weight lifted. I had bills at home I didn’t know how they were going to be paid.”

Raised in rural Missouri by his grandparents, Shaw is now the biggest lottery winner in Missouri's history. Want to win like Christopher Shaw? Play in Bodog's online casino and perhaps you too can go to Disneyland, quit your day job, pay off your '98 Ford Ranger, or, if you need to, get a new pair of two front teeth. Congratulations to Christopher Shaw!

This guy could only go broke if someone steals his money. His big plans for the money are paying off bills and going to disney land. Clearly blowing money doesnt sound possible for this guy.

Plus he might still have his minimum wage job to fall back on if he decides to keep working lol
