PIERRE,S.D.–– Recent Powerball prizewinner, Neal Wanless, has great things planned for his $232.1 million winnings. Wanless vowed not to squander his earnings. He decided to take his earnings in a one-time cash prize of $118 million and will get about $88.5 million after taxes.
Friends of Wanless expressed that they did not know of a better person to win the ninth largest jackpot in the history of the Powerball game.
Wanless, a 23-year-old rancher, wants to repay the community which has helped him and his family so much. Community members described him as “a typical South Dakotan, a good hard-working kid.” His family raises cattle, sheep and horses in the nation’s seventh-poorest county according to the 2007 U.S. Census Bureau.
