DERBY, NY-- A man from western New York has collected his $80 million Powerball jackpot.
David Yax, along with his wife, Claudia, were introduced to the media on Tuesday and awarded their prize.
The couple says they were pretty calm when they realized they were the sole winners of the jackpot.
Yax took the lump sum which is nearly $38.5 million after taxes. Yax says winning the money has been a little overwhelming.
The couple says they will have some fun and do some traveling, including to places like Hawaii and Alaska. Yax says he'd like to build a nice working shop and a pole barn.
The winning lottery ticket was sold at a market in Derby. The drawing was held September 4, 2019. Yax didn't know he won until the next day when he checked the numbers.
It is the largest Powerball jackpot ever in western New York.
