David Kaltschmidt(55)and Maureen Smith(70)received their check at an afternoon press conference at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee on Wednesday.

The married couple chose to take their prize in a one-time payment of $327million before taxes. Smith said the decision to take the lump-sum instead of the larger annuity was based on her age.

'We're going to take care of family,' Smith said, when asked about their plans for the winnings. 

The couple, who have been married since 1980, demurred when asked if they have any children together, with Kaltschmidt saying there are 'certain things we'd like to keep to ourselves'.
