After nearly two months of waiting, the winning Powerball ticket worth nearly 209 million dollars has been turned in.

The Wisconsin Lottery says that two of the 100 cheese workers who won the August 5th jackpot presented the winning ticket Friday.

The lottery says the workers plan to get a court order within several weeks to split the jackpot equally. State law requires a court order to split the jackpot.

The 100 people work at the Sargento Cheese plant in Plymouth.

The winners are expected to talk publicly Wednesday at a news conference where the ticket was purchased -- Ma and Pa's Grocery Express -- in Fond du Lac.
