Unbelievable!' is all I could muster

Unbelievable!' is all I could muster," Buxton said in a statement on Tuesday. "Once the initial shock passed, I couldn't sleep for days."
After the winning numbers were announced, Buxton said, he sat in front of his computer in disbelief, checking and rechecking his ticket — and telling no one else that he had won. "Sitting on a ticket of this value was very scary," he said.
When he claimed his prize Tuesday, Buxton was wearing a shirt that featured a picture of the Star Wars character Yoda and read, "Luck of the Jedi I have."
According to his publicist Sam Singer, one reason that Buxton came forward on April 1 — April Fool's Day — is simply that he has a healthy sense of humor.
"He still can't believe it's not a prank on him. But the reality is Ray Buxton is the winner," Singer told The Associated Press.
Buxton has been working since February with an attorney and financial adviser to establish new bank accounts, set up a charity and sort out tax issues.
"I'm going to enjoy my new job setting up a charitable foundation focused on the areas of pediatric health, child hunger and education," Buxton said in the statement.
Buxton also plans to stay out of the limelight and doesn't want to speak directly to the media, Singer said. He also won't reveal his age, address or what he did for a living until recently.
"He really wants to live a private life as best he can," Singer said. "He was a solidly middle-class American, and today he is a solidly wealthy one."
Buxton bought the one winning ticket for the Feb. 19 drawing at a convenience store in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Milpitas, about 10 miles north of San Jose.
The $425 million jackpot is one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history, though far from the record. The nation's biggest lottery prize was a Mega Millions jackpot of $656 million in 2012. The biggest Powerball jackpot was a $590.5 million last May.
Buxton chose to take a lump-sum payment of $242.2 million before taxes, lottery officials said.
Buxton was getting lunch at a Subway restaurant at the Chevron station's convenience store when he decided to buy another ticket because the jackpot was so large, lottery officials said.
"It's amazing how a little slip of paper can change your life," Buxton said, who estimates that he has been playing the lottery for 20 years.
The Feb. 19 jackpot was the largest jackpot in California history, according to lottery officials, and the sixth-largest ever won in the United States.
The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers are 1 in about 175 million, according to statistics from the Multi-State Lottery Association in Iowa.
Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islandscheap clubwear dresses wholesale sexy costumes

Many Gray supporters view Machen's office

Many Gray supporters view Machen's office with suspicion and said it was unfair for prosecutors to accuse the mayor of wrongdoing without charging him with a crime. Polls showed Gray with a comfortable lead before the latest developments in the investigation.
"He cannot convince a jury that Vince Gray is guilty," said Chuck Thies, Gray's campaign manager. "Instead, Ron Machen used propaganda to try Vince Gray in the court of public opinion in the closing weeks of this election."
Bowser, 41, worked for the local government in suburban Montgomery County, Md., and served as an elected neighborhood commissioner in the district before election to the council in 2007.
Opponents said Bowser lacks experience to be mayor, saying her legislative record is skimpy. Her most significant accomplishment on the council was the creation of an independent ethics board able to punish officials for violations. The board has found wrongdoing by three members of the 13-person council.
Gray, 71, led nonprofit organizations and the city's Department of Human Services before he was elected to the D.C. Council in 2004. As mayor, he's been known as a pragmatic, detail-oriented technocrat and sound manager of the city's robust finances. The district has enjoyed a surging population, a booming real estate market and relatively low violent crime.
Gray becomes the city's second consecutive one-term mayor. As with Fenty, polls showed voters turning against him even as they believe the city is headed in the right direction.
Turnout for the primary was light, and some voters said they were unimpressed with the slate of candidates. Many observers blamed the unusually early primary date for dampening enthusiasm and making campaigning difficult.
"I voted for Bowser. I held my nose," said Eugene Gill, 52, a retired city worker. "All of them are terrible."

we know we need a fresh start

The status quo is not good enough for us," Bowser told supporters early Wednesday. "We know that we can do better and we know we need a fresh start."
Her surge to a surprisingly easy victory coincided with the latest developments in the investigation. Incomplete results early Wednesday morning showed Bowser with 44 percent of the vote to 32 percent for Gray.
Some voters said they backed her over other Gray challengers primarily because they felt she stood the best chance of defeating him.
"It's too much. We've gone through scandals before in D.C., and we don't need any more," said Rufus Okunubi, 68, a cab driver who backed Gray in 2010, but voted for Bowser this time.
The Democratic primary winner has gone on to win every mayoral election in the district, where 75 percent of registered voters are Democrats. But Bowser will face a credible challenger this November: independent D.C. Councilmember David Catania, 46, a former Republican who has championed progressive causes since leaving the party in 2004.
In the days leading up to the primary, Gray focused his campaign on the poor, majority-black sections of the city where he defeated Fenty by huge margins, hoping that his seven challengers would split the vote. He picked up an endorsement from the most successful — and divisive — politician in the city's history, former Mayor Marion Barry, who drew criticism when he said black voters were more open-minded than whites.
Gray and Bowser are both black. The district has never elected a white mayor in 40 years of self-rule. Catania is white, as were two of Gray's other challengers.

Wilson also helped feed the community.

Wilson also helped feed the community.
“This is truly a sad day for Buffalo,” said Mike Billoni, public and community relations director of the Food Bank of Western New York.
He pointed out that the Wilson Family Foundation and the Bills organization have been helping the Food Bank for more than 20 years, and that “we became
almost like family with the Wilsons.”
He recalled the time in 2008 when the Fan Food Drive was under way during a game at the stadium. It usually raised $12,000 to $15,000, and Ralph Wilson
usually matched the donations.
“A couple came up to us with a check and asked if Mr. Wilson would match it. It was for $100,000,” Billoni said. After a visit to the owner’s box, and an
answer of “Absolutely!” from Wilson, the Food Bank had one of its best drives ever, collecting about $220,000.
“People didn’t realize what a huge heart he had for the people of Western New York, and he didn’t want any credit. He just wanted people to be taken care
of,” Billoni said.
The list is long of Wilson’s other charitable endeavors, including college scholarships, help for the SPCA, and donations to the University at Buffalo
Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, which treated some of the Bills’ players. The foundation also gave $1 million in 2010 to support Kaleida
Health’s adult day care centers in Amherst and North Tonawanda, and the Visiting Nurses Association.
As Roswell’s Johnson said, “Everything Mr. Wilson did, he did with passion and vigor and enthusiasm. He was a very special man.”

At the Hospice Foundation of Western New York

At the Hospice Foundation of Western New York, the feeling is much the same.
“While it is certainly a sad time for this community, for us we also see it as a time to step back and reflect on a life well-led,” said Patrick Flynn, the
foundation’s president. “What Mr. Wilson’s generosity has meant to our families and patients is immeasurable.”
The Wilsons donated money to build Hospice’s counseling center and the inpatient unit that bears their names.
“He cared so deeply about this community and the people in this community,” Flynn said. “And with so many excellent nonprofit organizations here, how
grateful and fortunate we are that he picked Hospice to help.”
Flynn knew Wilson personally and had the chance to watch the Bills play from the owner’s box a few times.
“He would always slide the glass open to get the ‘stadium feel’ and hear the fans,” Flynn said. “He cared so deeply about the well-being of this
community. I’m not sure people know that.”
The United Way of Buffalo & Erie County recognized Wilson’s generosity this week by changing the header image on its Twitter page to a photo of the late
Bills owner. Last fall, the United Way celebrated its 40-year relationship with the Bills organization.
“We could not appreciate more the relationship we have had with Ralph and Mary Wilson over the years,” said Michael Weiner, United Way president. “It
started in 1974 with player representatives doing PSAs on behalf of the United Way, and those continue to this day.”
Weiner listed a host of programs, many devoted to health, nutrition and fitness, that the Wilsons supported through the years. They included the “Hometown
Huddle” youth nutrition program, construction of a playground at a Lackawanna charter school, and Mary Wilson’s Closing the Gap initiative to encourage
girls to participate more in sports.
“The last 24 hours have been about Ralph being a unique owner and his role in the NFL, as it should be,” Weiner said, “but the reality is he and his wife
were very involved in the well-being of this community and very philanthropic. I think their goal with us was to bring joy and health to the youth of this
community.”
