(September 7, 2007)--New Jersey's newest millionaires were introduced at a news conference Friday.

Sandra and John Belawsky of Cape May County were introduced Friday morning at lottery headquarters in New Jersey as the newest Mega Millions winners.

The Belawskys had one of four winning tickets from last week's $330 million drawing.

The others were sold in Texas, Maryland and Virginia.

Maryland winner Elwood 'Bunky' Bartlett collected his nearly $82 million share on Wednesday.

The winners in Texas and Virginia have yet to claim their winnings.

Opting to take the one time cash option, the Belawskys will receive about $48.6 million before paying a 25 percent federal withholding tax.

John Belawsky bought the ticket at Blitz's Villas Market in the town of Villas.

The Cape May county residents are retired from banking.

He's a disabled Vietnam veteran who receives military disability and Social Security checks.

They have six children, ranging in age from 21 to 32, from previous marriages.

John Belawsky says he had to wait for his wife to wake up to tell her they won.

She says she thought her husband was fooling.

They haven't decided what to do with the money.
