Ryan HowardA Missouri man who won a $125 million jackpot plans to use most of the money to pay off all these bills and will likely continue his job as a first baseman.

Ryan Howard — who had just $28.96 million in his bank account — came forward as the winner of the largest windfall in Pennsylvania sports history.

“I don’t want to be one of those guys that comes into money and quits his job,” said Howard, who survived on a $19 million salary before his amazing fortune turned for the better. “Plus, once you factor in taxes, agent fees, lawyers, Pookie n’ them, accountants and the cable bill, you’re only left with what? Like $5 million a year? I couldn’t afford to leave my job even if I wanted to.”

Howard has since inspired several coworkers to play Powerball in hopes of a similar payoff.
