Southeast Missouri man wins half of $1.1 million jackpot

CAMPBELL, Mo. -- A Southeast Missouri man has claimed half the prize in a $1.1 million Missouri Lottery jackpot.

Missouri Lottery officials say two winning tickets were sold for the Aug. 15 Missouri Lotto drawing, so each winner gets half the amount.

A Bonne Terre, Missouri, man previously claimed his half of the win. And on Monday, the Lottery said Bill Depew of Campbell claimed the other half. He bought his winning ticket at R&P Service in Hayti, Missouri.

Depew, who is retired, said he'll use the windfall to pay bills, but his wife says he might get a new truck, too. Depew chose the cash option, which amounts to $275,000 before taxes.
