Raul Nabor Herrera is due for a 0.5 per cent share from the jackpot scooped by the winning ticket he sold
A shopkeeper is set to become a millionaire thanks to a loophole after selling a lucky $1billion Powerball ticket. Raul Nabor Herrera changed the life of one of his customers when he sold the historic winning slip on Wednesday.
Raul admitted he had not realised he sold the winning ticket until he found his shop surrounded by photographers when he arrived for work on Thursday. Mr Herrera, who has owned the store for the last seven years, admitted he has no idea who bought the ticket, due to selling so many in recent days. A ticket at Raul's store contained 7, 10, 11, 13 and 24 - and the red 24 Powerball. Three tickets sold in Florida, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island had won $2million and there were 36 other winners who are now millionaires.
