A 23-year-old Florida man became the state's youngest Powerball jackpot winner
ever, scoring a whopping $235.4 million prize.

Thomas Yi, of Land O' Lakes, won the March 27 drawing and chose to receive his
winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27, lottery officials
said.

“Even after matching all six numbers, I was in disbelief and took my ticket to a
retailer to have it checked," Yi told the Florida Lottery. "The clerk at the
counter instantly became excited and kept repeating that I had won the $235
million Powerball jackpot. I knew then that this would be life changing."

Yi purchased his jackpot-winning ticket from a Publix at 16560 North Nebraska
Avenue in Lutz. The retailer will receive a $95,000 bonus commission for selling
the ticket.

Yi said despite his winnings, he plans to pursue higher education in either a
business or medical field.

Since Powerball started in Florida in 2009, there have been 15 jackpot winners
in the state.
