BOISE, Idaho -- The manager of a fitness center in Idaho has a much healthier bank account.

Brad Duke was the winner of last month's $220.3 million Powerball jackpot. It was the second-largest single-ticket Powerball prize.

Duke chose to remain anonymous after winning the drawing last month. But his name was reported on the Web sites of two Boise television stations Wednesday.

The 33-year-old will take the lump sum payment of about $80 million. The state of Idaho will receive a lump sum state income tax check of about $10 million. The convenience store where Duke bought the ticket gets $50,000.

Duke has hired public relations and financial advisers.

1. good for him

I hope he manages it well, and has some fun. Shame he wasn't able to keep his name off the rolls completely.

Oh, Brad? you CAN change your name and SS#, if you so choose. I would.
