Arizona Powerball winner image captured by Maryland gas station camera

Surveillance footage taken at a gas station in Prince George’s County, Maryland, reportedly shows the moment a Powerball player discovered he had one of the two winning tickets in the $588 million jackpot.

The video shows a construction or highway worker walking into an Exxon in Prince George’s County and checking his ticket, before punching his fists in celebration.

Two tickets bore the winning numbers in Wednesday night’s draw and while Mark and Cindy Hill, from Dearborn, Missouri, have been identified as the winners of one, the other winner has not yet stepped forward.

Lottery officials announced the ticket was bought at a 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

The man in the Maryland store footage told fellow customers that he had bought the ticket 2,500 away in Arizona, ABC 7 reported.

After walking nonchalantly into the store, he is seen digging into his pockets and pulling out his tickets, which he then checks by the register.

The man, who is dressed in a neon yellow jacket, shakes the paper in disbelief as he matches up the numbers before handing the ticket to the clerk, who tells him the numbers are correct.

He rushes over to other customers to ask them to check and they, too, say he has won.

“And then he said, <<I got to get out of here>>,” employee Freddie Lopez told WJLA.

Witnesses told the channels that the man lives in Maryland, and one customer told WJLA that he heard the man may be in the military.

If he is the lucky ticket holder, he has 180 days to return to Arizona to collect the prize.

Karen Bach, the director of budget, product and communication for the Arizona Lottery, said she is not surprised that the winner has not come forward yet.

“I think that it is important for the winner to be thoughtful and make some plans and then come in and celebrate,” she said.

“So I think it usually takes a little time but you never know.”
