Florida couple wins share of $1.6B Powerball

Her husband was the first to notice the pair’s win the morning after the draw on January 13th and admitted that they didn’t even inform their family of the joyous news: “I lost ten pounds.

Publix is my second home, the people there are so nice, it was very hard not to tell anybody”. The Melbourne Beach couple has played the winning numbers for about 30 years, but not regularly.

Here’s what you need to know. Players must match all five numbers drawn to win the jackpot.

They opted for the lump-sum payment of $327,835,000 instead of an annual-payment option.

Ms Smith said she and Mr Kaltschmidt did not play the lottery regularly, but that the winning numbers were ones they had played for years.

“Maureen would come over two, three times a day just to take care of the bird”, John Kropp said. “I just know I want to help the special people in my life”. The couple said they shop at that location frequently. The Powerball drawing was held on January 13, 2016, and resulted in three winning tickets sold in California, Florida and Tennessee. “We couldn’t believe it”.

News 6 spoke to the Powerball jackpot winners’ neighbors. The couple looked ecstatic as they stood proudly with their check presented to them in Tallahassee.

“In all seriousness, that’s awesome, I’m happy for them”, he added.

They had a $528.7 million secret. But Holmquist says he never noticed anything out of the ordinary. He said, “My daughter called me and asked if I won, and my sister called me and asked me if I won, and I said ‘no, sorry I didn’t win'”. “Other than that I haven’t seen any change in them”.

Florida Lottery secretary Tom Delacenserie said it would take two days to deposit the money in their bank account but that “they were going to try to do it a little bit faster than that”.

“I am a little overwhelmed and excited”, Lisa Robinson said, according to news release from Tennessee Lottery.
