“I occasionally play the lottery back home and when I’m in Florida,” Stocklas said, according to a Florida Lottery news release which indicated he bought the winning ticket Monday.
After vacationing there last month, Stocklas was back in the Lehigh Valley Friday when he said he “pulled up the news on my phone and saw a headline about a Florida POWERBALL winner. I got my POWERBALL ticket out of my wallet to check the numbers, and sure enough, I was the jackpot winner!”
Stocklas then said he bought breakfast for everyone in the restaurant and called his friends and family to say, “‘We are going back to Florida!'”
According to Florida Lottery and Powerball officials, the winning ticket purchased by Stocklas was the only one to match Wednesday’s Powerball numbers: 12, 13, 44, 52, 62 and 6.
The winning ticket was sold at a Tom Thumb convenience store in Marathon, in the Florida Keys.
Channel 69 reported that the three winners chartered a private plane to fly to Florida Friday to claim their winnings in Tallahassee.
Stocklas, 67, chose to receive the winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment in the amount of $191,470,307.58, the Lottery news release stated. Phentermine is related to a group of drugs known as amphetamines, and it s prescribed for short-term use to treat obesity http://phentermineonlineguide.net/
