Massachusett's Hospital Worker Claims $758.7 Million Powerball Prize Thursday
Massachusetts' newest multi-millionaire and winner of the largest single-ticket Powerball prize in U.S. history has only one plan tonight: hide in bed. Massachusetts state lottery officials named Mavis L. Wanczyk of Chicopee as the winner of the $758.7 million Powerball Thursday in a press conference. Wanczyk, 53, said she found out she won the jackpot after she and a co-worker looked at the numbers together after work. "It's never going to be me," Wanczyk said as she nervously chewed a piece of gum. "It's just a pipe dream that I've always had."
