Jones went to the Wilsonville, Oregon, headquarters of the Oregon Lottery to claim his reward, and he was a mixture of amazement and excitement. He was surprised by his sudden wealth and unsure of how to proceed with his retirement preparations. He wishes he could quit his job and explore the world, but he has to go back to work on Monday.
Jones plans to take a vacation to South Africa soon, despite his dedication to his career. His intention to donate some of his prize money to charity was another indication of his goodwill and commitment to giving back to the community. Lottery authorities claim that Jones bought his Megabucks winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on 11111 SW Capitol Hwy. in Portland.
