PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man, diagnosed with cancer, says he'll be sharing the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot he won earlier this month with his wife and his friend after they decided to buy a ticket together.
The ticket that scored the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot on record was purchased at a Portland Plaid Pantry earlier this month. The Oregon Lottery announced Monday that Cheng "Charlie" Saephan, a Laos-born immigrant who has been fighting cancer for the past eight years, was the lucky ticket holder.
