(CNN) -- Three Connecticut asset managers claimed the largest Powerball jackpot in the state's history on Monday.

Co-workers Tim Davidson, Brandon Lacoff and Greg Skidmore claimed the November 2 prize that netted them $103.5 million at a presentation by the Connecticut Lottery Corp.

Kurland spoke on behalf of three winners, all asset managers at start-up firm Belpointe Asset Management in Greenwich, Connecticut. He said that the men will donate "a significant amount" of the winnings to charities in the state.

After realizing they had a winning ticket the following morning, the three co-workers formed the Putnam Avenue Family Trust, each becoming a trustee.

"They have become their dream client," Kurland said of the asset managers.
