Golden State billionaire!
The winner of Powerball’s second largest jackpot prize worth $1.765B was revealed Friday — five months after the life-changing drawing.
Theodorus Struyck was named as the representative of a group who bought the billion-dollar ticket at a market in Frazier Park, Calif. for the October 11 drawing, the California Lottery announced.
The brand-new billionaire was described as a 65-year-old resident of the mountain town of approximately 3,000 people who lives only 500 yards from the store, according to KGET.
“He adores his grandchildren,” Struyck’s neighbor Mary Dreier told the outlet. “He’s just really pleasant to have around. I noticed yesterday he put up that Posted: No Trespassing sign.”
Struyck’s location was unknown at the time of the announcement, and some of his neighbors and some of his neighbors wouldn’t share it if they knew.
“If I knew I wouldn’t tell you,” Rick Kotnik told the outlet, laughing, sharing the two would often talk about fishing.
