We've waited so long to find out who the local winner of the $447 million Powerball jackpot is, I almost forgot about it! But at long last we finally know. Jeff Lindsay and his family turned in the winning ticket that was drawn June 10th.
This statement was issued on the family's behalf:
“We are private people and do not want to change who we are or become public figures and ask that people appreciate and respect our privacy. In order to help manage what has already been a somewhat overwhelming process, we have engaged a number of financial, legal and other advisors to guide us and help us make the best decisions possible.
Once things calm down, we plan on working closely with our team of advisors to determine how to properly manage and invest this newfound wealth to ensure that we can support our family and causes that are important to us for many generations to come.”
