INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - A representative for the person who won the $435 million Powerball drawing came forward Monday.

After taxes, the winner received a check for $189 million dollars.
The representative said the winner is very family-oriented and close with his siblings and parents. He plans to give some money to family to help family members pay for their education and maybe earn an advanced degree himself.
He anticipates making donations to charity, but he has made no decisions at this time.
He's excited to travel to see family and is thinking about buying a new car and a new home.
The store that sold the winning ticket received a check for $100,000.
