A Florida woman stepped forward to claim a Powerball jackpot from January worth $369.9 million, Florida Lottery officials announced Tuesday in a news release.
She will know how to get the most out of her money, too. According to Sheryll Goedert’s profile on LinkedIn, she is an accountant with offices in Ocala and Dunnellon.
Goedert chose to receive the winning amount in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $276,558,034.09, according to the Florida Lottery. That’s before taxes.
The winning ticket was a Quick Pick, purchased at a 7-Eleven store in Bonita Springs. The retailer will receive a $100,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket, the Florida Lottery said.
Goedert, 61, of Ocala, who Florida Lottery officials said is the managing member of Vacation Life LLC, claimed the winning ticket from the Jan. 29 drawing.

That’s about what I do, too. I get my $5 worth of amusement thinking about what I’d do if I won.
“With that kind of money she would be able to give every single American one million dollars.”
LOL
LOLOL! THAT is catchy, too!
I finally went back and read the whole article (imagine that). The $276m would be before taxes. I was just guessing earlier. So the gubment is getting their “fair” share.
I’ve never won anything either.
“...once she goes out to buy some toilet paper.”
Or hand sanitizer.
I’d spend it on wine, women and song - and then I’d waste the rest.
Whatever the advertised number is, I always calculate it to be a third as a cash lump sum, assuming that there is no state income taxes.
Even if it is a third of what the advertised number is, I’d be quite happy with that.
It is false advertising.
Here in MA you scratch a million dollar winner...NOPE
It’s 650 before taxes.
Oh you get the mil if you take the 20 year payout...but after inflation after all those years.
yea sure...
Frigging scam the lottery should be tax free and upfront with the payout...gov already makes millions off of it without penalizing the winners.
SCAM
Now for her own good she should go invisible, change her name and relocate somewhere far away.
Sell your house ASAP so that no thieving swine can “slip and fall” on your property and sue you for it.
Most if not all of the lottery games like “Pick 3”, “Pick 4” etc were 1st started by the mafia and/or other mobs that would give neighborhoods the opportunity to spend .50 to make $10.00 or whatever. The government came in, made it illegal for private citizens to run these and here we are.
