William Kruger of Lantana opted to receive the prize as a cash option lump sum of $140,145,006.00. His lucky Quick Pick ticket hit all six numbers in the August 12, 2020 draw: 2, 6, 18, 36, 37, plus Powerball 21. Kruger picked up his ticket at Publix, 4770 North Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach. The store received a $100,000 bonus for selling the ticket.The jackpot is the largest lottery prize ever won in Palm Beach County, and is more than twice as much as the previous top Powerball prize won locally. In 2010, a Broward County woman won $73.8 million with a ticket from Publix, Southern Boulevard in Royal Palm Beach. Although Florida Lottery winners have an extended period to claim prizes due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kruger wasted no time in coming forward just weeks after winning.

He left his prize claim in the secure drop box located at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee. The Lottery implemented the drop box claim system after offices closed to the public because of the spread of COVID-19. The secure drop boxes are located at Lottery HQ and district offices throughout the state. Prizes can also be claimed by mail. For more information, visit the Coronavirus Lottery Updates page.
