Roger Custer, of Levittown, Bucks County claimed a $33.1 million Powerball™ jackpot from the Dec. 5, 2012 drawing.
Custer claimed the money on Friday. He was presented with a check for $33,134,526.18. Custer was accompanied by his wife, Linda, and several family members.
The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 13-17-19-27-38, and the red Powerball, 12, to win a $50 million annuity, or $33.1 million cash prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.
Custer elected to take the cash prize.
“The best part about winning the Powerball jackpot is being able to take care of my family,” said Custer, who is retired. “It’s a good feeling to know that my family will never have to worry.”
Custer purchased the ticket at Levittown News & Tobacco, 411 S. Oxford Valley Road, Fairless Hills, Bucks County.
The retailer earns a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Custer is the 16th Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball jackpot winner since the state joined the multi-jurisdictional game in June 2002.
This was the second Powerball jackpot-winning ticket sold in Pennsylvania this year. Last spring, a group of SEPTA employees from the Philadelphia area claimed a $107.5 million cash jackpot from the April 25 drawing.
