>> here are the winning numbers tonight — ben: with these six numbers >> i yelled at her, we believe, i can’t believe it. You don’t know what to do. Ben: Tommy and Cliff Webster’s lives changed forever. An Oneida Nation couple hit the Powerball at a gas station in Green Bay in January, taking home more than $150 million after taxes. >> it was one of the happiest moments of my life. >> and then we were standing there, what are we doing ?what are we doing? >> I want my whole toolbox available.

To protect your identity and your money, take a lump sum and set up trusts, as Webster did. >> Now is not the time to go to your local credit union that you have used all your life and open an account with them.

Although the Banoos say there may be ways around it, including court orders for PRI.VACY >> THESE PEOPLE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE A VERY HAPPY COUPLE AND YOU WANT TO DO IT. NEWFOUND FAME is something they are not used to. Ben: It’s a hassle, now Webster can. >> be thankful you have it ben, motivated to keep the lottery winner anonymous?
