FORKLIFT DRIVER WINS USD100,000 POWERBALL HAUL

News Story
- 3 Jul 2003 ( #114 ) - GREEN BAY, WI, Australia
<1 min read
A recently fired forklift driver has had a change of fortune after winning USD100,000 on TV lottery Powerball last Saturday.

Alan Jensen bought some Powerball tickets at Lou's One Stop purely by chance. He told The Green Bay News-Chronicle he rarely shopped there, usually stopping at an adjacent McDonald's restaurant.

Jensen, who was laid off this year, said he would use the money to "put a house up, go on vacation and just enjoy life".
