ASHEVILLE, NC — Janitorial business owner and retired fireman Frank Griffin was the sole winner of a $141 million Powerball lottery jackpot in the North Carolina Education Lottery, according to WBT-AM.


According to the story, Griffin opted for a $69 million cash payment and will end up with about $47 million after paying taxes on the winnings.


Griffin doesn't have big plans for the money and doesn't expect his life to change much, save for a trip to Hawaii, more games of golf and more time spent with his wife and family, the story stated.


Griffin said: "I may get us a new house later, but I really want to spend more time with her and my grandchildren."


Griffin, who has owned a janitorial business for 40 years, said he may leave the business to his children, the story added.
