Iron worker
An iron worker has won a $275m (£140m) jackpot in the US state of Georgia - the largest single-player prize in the state lottery's history.
Robert Harris, 47, used the dates of his grandchildren's birthdays in two $1 tickets his wife bought in Portal, the small town where they live.
Having quit his job after his win, Mr Harris said he planned to "live happy".
He and his wife Tonya, 55, have opted to take $167m now rather than $275m over 26 years.
Tonya Harris said she almost did not enter the lottery because it was raining heavily on the day.

Who is an iron worker?
My guess is a person who works in a mine where iron ore is extracted.
There are mines of copper, gold, etc.

I don't think he was a miner. He probably worked at a plant where the iron ore was processed. In any case, he doesn't work there any longer.

- I wonder if he remembers that we were once married and he once promised me that half of all he would have have would be mine...
