Roswell NM residents claim Powerball jackpot

Roswell is well known as the site of a supposed UFO crash in 1947.

Last week Roswell is suddenly more associated with greenbacks than little green men.

Nine residents brought different attention to the town Friday when they claimed a Powerball jackpot worth more than $200 million.

Holly Baldwin bought the tickets at a gas station two hours before the Sept. 27 drawing. Her group decided to take a lump payment of more than $100 million.

They plan to invest most of the money and set up a charity trust.
