Oregon Man Battling Cancer Wins $1.3 Billion Powerball Jackpot

Cheng Saephan, a Laotian immigrant, shares historic win with wife and friend amidst ongoing cancer treatment.

Cheng Saephan, diagnosed with cancer, is one of three winners of the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot in history, amounting to $1.3 billion.
The trio opted for a cash payout, dividing over $422 million after taxes, with Saephan's friend Laiza Chao receiving half of the winnings.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry in Portland, Oregon, with the store receiving a $100,000 bonus.
Saephan, who has lived in Portland for 30 years, used a Quick Pick option that randomly generated the winning numbers.
Despite the win, Saephan intends to maintain a normal life and focus on his health, planning to buy a dream home for his family.
