A man who said he won about $22 million (£17 million) in a multi-state lottery has told a US financial radio show that he kept the windfall secret from almost everyone, including his two teenage children, and has carried on working and driving the same Toyotas he owned before the draw.
The caller was identified on The Ramsey Show only as John, from Louisville, Kentucky, though the programme indicated his name and location had been changed to protect his identity. He said he won the prize with a group of work colleagues about two years ago, and that the figure came to 'about $22 million' after taxes.
