MAN WHO BOUGHT WINNING POWERBALL TICKET IN MORRO BAY SHARES PLANS FOR $699.8M
JACKPOT

More than 57 million Powerball lottery tickets were sold in the U.S. for a
drawing on Oct. 4, 2021, but only one man beat the odds.

Scott Godfrey, the winner of the $699.8 million jackpot, spoke exclusively with
KSBY News anchor Nina Lozano on Thursday.

"At first, it's like you don't think it's real, like there's something wrong
with the ticket. You think it can't actually be that," Godfrey explained.

Godfrey bought the winning ticket at the Albertsons grocery store on Quintana
Road in Morro Bay.

"I saw, actually, a news report on TV where they had a dark image of the store
in the morning and I realized I had been there last night and thought about the
ticket," he said.

His Quick Pick ticket landed him the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and the
seventh-largest jackpot in overall lottery history.



"Everybody thinks there's a possibility of winning. It's so infrequent that you
can't imagine it being you so it's pretty special when you find out," Godfrey
said.

He chose a lump sum payout of $496 million minus federal taxes.

So what is he going to do with the money?

"We've already set up a foundation that's going to receive quite a bit of the
money for working on deliberate charitable things."

He's already making good on that promise, donating a carload of toys to KSBY's
Season of Hope toy drive on Thursday.

"We feel blessed and we feel like there is a direct reason that we were
entrusted with this," Godfrey said. "That's why we were so deliberate that this
goes and does as much good to those who are less fortunate as possible."

For selling the winning ticket, Albertsons will receive a bonus of $1 million
from the lottery, and California schools will receive $78 million from ticket
sales.



If you win the lottery in California, officials are required to publish your
name as well as the location where the winning ticket was bought.
