Calif. man with 3 jobs wins $39 million lottery

49-year-old plans to take wife to Hawaii — and hire financial adviser


SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A man who works three jobs to support his family — including one as a limousine driver — has won a $39 million jackpot in California's SuperLotto Plus.
Clyde Persley, who is married and has a 4-year-old daughter, turned in his winning ticket on Tuesday night and should get his first check for about $16 million in four to six weeks, said a California lottery spokeswoman.
The 49-year-old Santa Cruz man operates candy-making machines for Santa Cruz Nutritionals, drives a limousine and picks up extra hours at a restaurant.

He says his first moves will be taking his wife on a trip to Hawaii and hiring a financial adviser.
He bought his winning ticket at a Santa Cruz market where he has played the lottery twice a week for several years.

Good for him. I'd like to win the lottery but then I'd have to play the thing in the 1st place.

Only time I bought lottery tickets is when the powerball was around $200 million and did a pool at work with about 25 others. Good to see someone like this win it.
