The latest winner joins a growing list of Jacksonville residents who have won big this year.

According to the Florida Lottery, in January a Jacksonville resident won $1 million on a POWERBALL drawing.

He chose to take home the one-time lump sum payment of $890,000.

“My wife’s car broke down a few days ago and two days after that my truck broke down. In addition to buying a new house, this money will help us purchase two new vehicles,” Fuller said.

Last week Clay Tousey, 69, of Ponte Vedra Beach, came forward as the trustee of a winning $286 million POWERBALL that was purchased at a Circle K on Chaffee Road on June 5.

The Love You More Trust, which is now Florida’s 16th Powerball winner, chose to receive the winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $196,706,252.17.
