A man from Ham Lake, Minnesota wasted no time in coming forward to claim his share of a whopping 448 million-dollar Powerball jackpot.

45-year-old Paul White, who works for an electrical contractor, is one of three winners and will split the jackpot, one of the largest in lottery history, ABC News reported.

The other two winning ticket holders in New Jersey have not yet come forward.

White said he didn't check his ticket until his girlfriend, Kim VanReese, 45, called him at his office to let him know there had been a winner in Minnesota.
