INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A retired auto worker and his two adult children claimed a $314 million Powerball jackpot Monday after waiting two weeks to step forward.
"I know the world is going to turn upside down," said David W. Coterel, 65, of Riverside, Ohio.
Coterel's daughter, Lynn Hiles, 46, said she has quit her job as a postal worker in Dayton, Ohio. Her 42-year-old brother, David W. Coterel Jr., recently took a buyout from his job at an auto parts plant.
Neither has any children, and their mother, Dorothy, died of cancer three years ago.

The family decided to take the cash option on the prize from the Aug. 25 drawing, meaning they will collect $145,985,099 before taxes, Hoosier Lottery executive director Kathryn Densborn said.
