Who is the $2.04 BILLION Powerball lottery winner, and what are they doing right now?

Who won the $2.04 billion Powerball lottery? This video reveals the latest news on who won the multi-billion dollar jackpot.
Powerball winner and podcast host Timothy Schultz discusses how he thinks the lucky winner is feeling about the win.
And he tells us what should they be doing now - three weeks after the mind-boggling win.
The world record-breaking jackpot was a single winning ticket.
It was sold on November 8th, 2022 at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, California.
The store’s owner, Joeseph Chahayed, received a check for $1 million dollars for selling the ticket.
While Joe was happy to appear for the publicity, the winner will not be allowed to remain anonymous.
According to California lottery rules, the name of the state’s winners must be published, although their addresses will not be revealed.
Winners have 12 months to claim the prize, and an option of choosing the cash option of $997.6 million.
Or they can take the full amount in an annuity of 30 consecutive payments.
Schultz says the lucky winner or winners are probably now in shock.
He believes they are hopefully seeking legal and financial advisors, and getting a financial plan organized before claiming the ticket.
They should also think about leaving town and going under the radar after claiming the gigantic prize.
