Officials to announce Florida Powerball winners

The current estimated jackpot for tonight’s US Powerball lottery draw is $189 million. The couple said they shop at that location frequently.

“The Florida Lottery is all about creating winning moments and giving people the chance to fulfill their dreams”, Florida Lottery Secretary Tom Delacenserie said.

In the 2014-15 fiscal year, the Lottery awarded more than $84.6 million in prizes in Westmoreland County and contributed more than $39.6 million to programs serving the county’s older residents.

It was hard to believe, so they double-checked online. They even posted a preview of the massive check the winners will receive, which will be for $528.7 million dollars.

Kaltschmidt and Smith called the decisions arising from their good fortune stressful and said they had told their family only within the past week. She then explained further.

“We’re no longer in a quiet place, which I’m going to miss”, Smith said at the press conference.

Kaltschmidt’s Linkedin page says he works as a Manufacturing Engineer 4 at Northrop Grumman Corporation while Smith has worked as a homemaker since 1980.

Kaltschmidt and Smith have a Pomeranian named Cassie, who John Kropp joked is “the love of Maureen’s life, next to her husband”. The couple said they had been playing the same numbers for years and didn’t realize they had won until the following morning. She also purchased an additional ticket that was a Quick Pick.

“What we saw during January is that not only did regular players play, but occasional players and first time players jumped in”.

“Oddly enough, I checked the ticket and everything matched up”, he said.

The ticket was purchased at a Publix supermarket in Melbourne Beach. Instead, they suggest getting an experienced attorney and setting up a trust for the funds before going public with the win.
