A “humble” and “family-oriented” grandpa from California was recently named the winner of the state’s second-biggest jackpot and is reportedly paying off his home and looking for a new $1 million pad. There is.
Theodore “Theo” Struck, 65, was named in March as head of a group that purchased $1.76 billion in Powerball tickets at the Frazier Park market for the Oct. 11 drawing. Nominated.
The rest of the crew remains a mystery, with Strück, a super-civilian, presumably staying with his family near San Diego.
The retired UPS employee was last seen at his home. “No Trespassing” sign, The US Sun reported on Saturday. And he hadn’t told anyone about his life-changing victory.
Records show Struck paid off the $90,000 home in January, the newspaper said. He then transferred the deed to a new trust called “Opa Can Rest Now,” apparently a play on the German word for grandpa.
He is reportedly house hunting near his family’s property and is viewing a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home valued at $1.5 million that boasts “complete privacy and tranquility.” It is said that it was witnessed.
According to The Sun, the home has more than an acre of parkland and also includes a guesthouse with its own private drive.
There is also a separate guest house with its own drive away from the main building.
Strucyk will now be able to spend more time on his obvious hobbies and interests, such as boating and dirt biking.
Photos obtained by The Sun show two old trucks and a boat alongside Strück’s small-town property, where he is wearing a T-shirt from the annual motocross race near his home. I wore.
But locals still see him driving the same old truck, and neighbors say they can’t imagine him buying fancy cars or clothes.
In other photos, he is seen wearing an unassuming ensemble that includes an “Aloha” hat and camouflage pants.
Mr. Strzok reportedly attended elementary and high school in the Los Angeles area, but it is unclear whether he attended college. Although he is not married, he is believed to have a long-term partner, The Sun reported.
“I’m so happy for Theo. It’s just a wonderful thing,” neighbor Kevin Warten said last month.
“I expect him to consider security,” he added. “I have to do that for that amount of money.”
Three months before Strück became a huge hit, Yanira Alvarez bought a $1.08 billion winning ticket at a Los Angeles minimarket. They followed Edwin Castro’s historic $2.04 billion Golden State win in November 2022.
