Virginia Cabbie Who Won Powerball Says He's Not Returning to Pakistan After All
The Associated Press
Published: Nov 28, 2001

WASHINGTON (AP) - Powerball's newest millionaire says he will not return to his native Pakistan with his winnings.
Ihsan Khan was the sole winner of a $55 million Powerball drawing Nov. 7. He opted for the lump-sum payout, which comes to nearly $32.5 million.

D.C. Lottery spokesman Bob Hainey said that when Khan claimed his prize earlier this month, he told lottery officials he felt more secure returning to Pakistan with the money. But since then, he has decided to stay in Arlington, Va.

The news that Khan would not leave the country caught lottery officials by surprise. They had fully expected to take Khan to the airport following Wednesday's check presentation.

Khan says he does not know where the story of him returning to Pakistan came from. Instead, the former taxi driver says he will stay in the Washington area and use the money to pay for his three sons' education and set up a foundation in his mother's memory
