Cheng “Charlie” Saephan, 46, who has been dealing with cancer for the past eight years, says he will use the money to take care of his family and to find a 'good doctor.'
SALEM, Oregon — A Portland man who has been dealing with cancer for the past eight years is one of the winners of a $1.3 billion
Saephan’s ticket was the sole winner of the jackpot drawn on April 6. It was the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. They all selected the cash option, which means they are dividing $422.3 million after taxes, according to the Powerball website. “I prayed to God to help me,” said Saephan, who has two young children. “My kids are young and I’m not that healthy.” He says the winnings will allow him to live “worry free” as he continues to deal with his illness.
