$553 Million jackpot Winner identified [Photos]

Richard Wahl, of Vernon, New Jersey, was named as the winner of a $533 million lottery prize

A New Jersey production manager stepped out of obscurity on Friday to reveal himself as the newest millionaire-by-chance after a $2 Mega Millions ticket he bought at a gas station last month yielded him a jackpot of more than a half billion dollars.

Richard Wahl, who moved from Michigan last summer to take a job at a Hillside, New Jersey-based food service industry supplier, said he probably will stop working and use his winnings to help his family and friends. It was just the fourth time the jackpot has surpassed the $500 million mark, lottery officials have said.
