Trucker, wife win $33 million
OKLAHOMA CITY – Don Harvey’s long-haul truck had almost 2 million miles on it when its engine died this week. Now, he’ll ride the road in style, after winning a $105.8 million Powerball jackpot with his wife.
Harvey and his wife, Joyce, said they will pay off bills, help family members and think about buying a new home with their winnings. They chose to receive a $33.3 million lump sum after taxes instead of the full amount paid out over 29 years.
The ticket was purchased at a Shell service station in Roland, about five miles east of Muldrow where they live in eastern Oklahoma, almost on the Arkansas border.
