AFP reports: A Missouri mechanic and his unemployed wife came forward today as the holders of one of two winning tickets in the second largest lottery in US history: a $587.5 million Powerball jackpot.

Mark and Cindy Hill vowed to stay grounded and not let the massive windfall go to their heads after receiving a check for $293,750,000 at a press conference in their local high school in Dearborn, Missouri.

"We're just normal human beings. We're as common as anybody. We just have a little bit more money," Cindy Hill told reporters.
