DEARBORN, MO -- They were high school sweethearts who, not long ago, were both out of work. Now, they're claiming half the nation's biggest Powerball Jackpot.

Cindy Hill and her husband, Mark, a mechanic, bought just five tickets and picked numbers at random. The couple adopted a daughter from China five years ago, and are now considering a second adoption with their winnings. Their daughter says she wants a pony.

The person who holds the winning ticket sold in Arizona has not come forward yet, but surveillance video in Maryland shows a man celebrating after he claimed to have the winning ticket.
