DALTON, GA – A Georgia truck driver stepped forward Mar. 7 to claim half of a $390 million jackpot, the richest lottery prize in U.S. history. Ed Nabors, 52, of Rocky Face, Ga., said he was going to do a lot of fishing now.

Nabors bought his ticket when he stopped in for his weekly cup of coffee at a convenience store near a carpet mill run by his employer, Mohawk Industries. 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 taxes.
