Tonight Simpsonville, South Carolina is keeping one of the world's biggest secrets. I'm just glad someone in South Carolina hit it, even more in Simpsonville. Someone who bought a ticket at the local KC Mart is a mega millionaire, winning a 1.5 billion dollar prize or a lump sum of 878 million before taxes.
The store's owner isn't spilling and we may never know. South Carolina one of just eight states that allows winners to remain anonymous. But don't despair. There's still time to be a multimillionaire. Tonight's Powerball drawing is just hours away. People here hoping lightning strikes twice. A mere 620 million on the line, not a bad consolation prize.

今晚，南卡罗来纳州的辛普森维尔将保守世界上最大的秘密之一。我很高兴南卡罗来纳有人中了，尤其是辛普森维尔的人。有人在当地KC商城买了彩票，成为超级百万富翁，赢得了15亿美元的奖金，税前总金额8.78亿美元。商店的主人没有透露，我们可能永远也不会知道。南卡罗来纳是允许获奖者匿名的八个州之一。但不要绝望。还是有时间成为千万富翁的。几个小时后，今晚的强力球抽奖就开始了。这里的人们希望梅开二度。只有6亿2千万，这是个不错的安慰奖。
