It looks like someone is going to be able to afford that [penthouse](/want-to-rent-a-penthouse-at-the-oceana-6500-a-month-please/) in Oceana soon. Some really lucky person in Brighton Beach hit the jackpot this past Saturday when their numbers came up in the Poweball drawing, scoring them $130 million.

The ticket was sold at Rocco’s Bakery and Deli (117 Brighton Beach Avenue), and yesterday the New York Post [interviewed ](http://nypost.com/2013/11/18/130-3m-powerball-jackpot-won-at-brighton-beach-bakery/?ref=bklyner.com)the manager Salah Al-Sulaimani, 33\. He was so excited he was [doing cartwheels](http://newyork.cbslocal.com/video/9542448-mystery-over-brighton-beach-powerball-winner/?ref=bklyner.com) in the store and getting some orders wrong. Aside from the $10,000 bonus the store gets from selling the winning ticket, he’s now expecting increased lottery sales in the future.

“The publicity is going to bring in a lot of business, a lot of people here. We’ll probably need another lottery machine,” he told the newspaper.

The holder of the ticket remains a mystery, and has not yet come forward to claim his or her prize.

For those readers unfamiliar with how lottery prizes work, the winner must choose between a 30-year annuity or a lump sum payment. The lump sum is worth about $73.4 million, with the winner getting about $45.7 million after taxes. The annuity would pay out the entire $130.3 million value with yearly payments increasing about 4 percent a year. If you ask me, which you didn’t, I’d go with the long-term value and still find a job. Or, hey, just double down; afterall, the Mega Millions Jackpot is up to $165 million – you know, if you’re willing to wait 25 years to get it all. Otherwise the lump sum gets you $89 million.
