Florida Powerball Winners Claim Part of Historic Prize

February 18th, 2016 by flanews

Remember Powerball fever? Just about one month ago, everyone was hoping to purchase the winning ticket for a historic $1.5 billion dollar prize. As Matt Galka tells us, one of three winning tickets were sold here in Florida.

It wasn’t an easy month for Melbourne Beach couple David Kaltschmidt and his wife Maureen Smith.

“We lost a lot of sleep. I lost 10 pounds. Pacing at night will do that, I’ll tell you what,” said Kaltschmidt.

The couple cashed in one of three winning Powerball tickets drawn for the historic $1.5 billion dollar prize.  They opted to take the lump sum of just under $328 million dollars.

“We still can’t believe it,’ said Smith. “We kept checking the numbers.”

Smith said they played her numbers.

“It was a three dollar investment,” said Kaltschmidt.

Kaltscmidt plans to retire from his engineer job. Smith doesn’t exactly know what to do next.

“He wants a new car. We really don’t know. I want a massage!” she said.
