I believe they will only pay this out in stages, right?

The winning ticket sold in New Jersey was from a store about 20 minutes away from me. I won 3 bucks for having the Mega ball number!

Wait a minute, I spent $20.00 to win 3!

There were two winning tickets sold for the 390 million dollar jackpot. One from a truck driver in Georgia and the other one from New Jersey is unclaimed.

ATLANTA -- When Ed Nabors discovered that he had won half of the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, he sat stunned in his rig until a dispatcher radioed wondering what was going on.

Wednesday turned out to be a short workday for the 52-year-old truck driver.

''He was shaking so hard they sent him home from work,'' said his mother, Doris Nabors, who shares a home with her son in Rocky Face, Ga., about 90 miles north of Atlanta.

Ed Nabors was the first person to claim part of the $390 million jackpot from Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing. The only other winning ticket was sold at a liquor store in New Jersey, and the holder did not immediately come forward Wednesday.

Nabors did not check his $10 worth of lottery tickets before going to bed Tuesday, and it wasn't until a co-worker told him that a winning ticket was bought at his regular convenience store that he decided to take a look.

''I'm still numb,'' Nabors said.

He elected to take his winnings in a lump sum instead of annual installments, and will get $116.5 million before taxes, or more than $80 million after.

He bought his ticket Tuesday morning at a convenience store in Dalton close to a carpet mill run by his employer, Mohawk Industries. Nabors said he usually gets a cup of coffee at the store at least once a week. ''That's what I was doing that day,'' Nabors said.

When asked whether he would keep working, Nabors said: ''At least two more days.''

''I'm going to do a lot of fishing,'' he said. He also said he plans to buy a house for his daughter, who has wanted to move out of her mobile home for a long time.
