Wife's small rebellion played role in $340 million Powerball win

Wife's small rebellion played role in $340 million Powerball win


SALEM, Ore. Steve West wasn't interested when his in-laws — Bob and Frances Chaney asked if he and his wife Carolyn wanted to buy some lottery tickets last month and try for the record $340 million Powerball jackpot.

"I told my wife we never win at that," West said in an interview on KOBI-TV in the Southern Oregon town of Medford.

Carolyn West went in on $40 worth of tickets anyway. It was a small act of rebellion, but one that played a role in the four purchasing the $340 million Powerball ticket.
