Bopper's Big Break? Power to the People? $$$? Will He Still Get to Daytona?

You know how they say everybody in a small town is either related or knows each other. With this afternoon's news that a winning Powerball ticket was sold in Shallotte, NC, I'm wondering if Bobby Williamson is making any plans to start his own racing series?

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - It's official! One of the three winning tickets in the Powerball jackpot was purchased at the Scotchman on Whiteville Road in Shallotte, NC.

Shallotte resident Edgar Jaramillo said he heard about the winning ticket from his boss.

I had to come out and see if it was true, he said, while purchasing a Mega Millions ticket.

North Carolinas $188 million winning Powerball ticket was sold Wednesday night at the Scotchman at 359 Whiteville Road.

This is the fourth winning Powerball ticket sold in North Carolina and the largest prize in state history. It was the third largest Powerball prize in U.S. history, according to a statement released Thursday by GPM Investments LCC, owner of Scotchman.

Funny, I just mentioned the same thing to someone else!

There is a very happy person in Shallotte tonight, one of three winners. Glad it was N.C. if it couldn't be S.C. Congratulations to the winners.

sure hope its my favorite cousin bobby....lol....

The winning ticket DID put Shallotte on the map...I went to Daytona (for the Legend's Parade) and while checking in to the H-I Express, the attendant apologized for "misspelling my address" assuming it was "Charlotte, NC" I replied: "No, it's correct, it's where the lottery was won...." "OH, right!" he said.
