Middletown man claims $200,000 PowerBall prize

A Middletown man went to the state lottery office this morning to claim a $200,000 PowerBall prize -- more than two months after learning he won.

The unidentified man purchased the ticket from Lazar's Package Store, 554 West Main Road, in Middletown before the Dec. 23 drawing.

He learned the value of the winning ticket on Christmas, according to the state lottery, but waited more than two months to claim his prize.

Why? He wanted time to seek the counsel of a financial planner, according to the lottery. The winner has decided to invest the money, but set aside enough to take a golfing trip to Arizona.
