Why did B. Raymond Buxton, the sole winner of February’s $425 million Powerball payout, decide to wait until April Fools’ Day to finally come forward and claim his prize? According to People, it’s simply because he’s got a good sense of humor. Buxton, who’s shared his name but not his face publicly, claimed his winnings yesterday while wearing a Star Wars-themed T-shift that featured a picture of Yoda and the phrase, “Luck of the Jedi I have.“ Buxton said in a statement that he “couldn’t sleep for days“ after realizing he possessed the winning numbers, and never told anyone that he’d won.
