A Single Powerball Ticket Sold In Massachusetts Won The Jackpot

Business Insider has reported that a single lottery ticket worth $758.7 million has won the largest lottery prize in US history. On Thursday, Mavis L. Wanczyk revealed in a press conference that she was the winner of the jackpot. Wanczyk, who is 52 years old, said during the press conference: "The first thing I want to do is sit back and relax". Wanczyk also said she had already called her employer to let them know she would not be returning. Wednesday's Powerball jackpot — the second largest in US history — had a single winner, according to the Powerball website. The total haul is the largest lottery win ever, since the record largest jackpot of $1.6 billion Powerball was split between three winners.
