25 Aug Woman Who Won $758.7 Million On The Lottery Reveals Her First Move

Let me set the scene: You’ve left work after one of those tiresome days, you get home, sit down in front of the television and instead of tuning into whatever mindless television show you normally watch, you switch on the news and see your face plastered everywhere. You have won the lottery.

That’s pretty much what happened to Mavis Wanczyk. But she didn’t just win any old lottery; on Thursday evening Mavis walked away as the sole winner of a whopping $758.7 million Powerball jackpot, making her the recipient of the largest single-ticket prize in American lottery history.

The medical care center worker purchased the ticket at the Pride Station and Store in Chicopee, Massachusetts. And whilst you would presume that such a lucky draw would be derived from some meaningful dates or the like, Mavis stated that the winning numbers were all randomly derived.

The 53-year-old was leaving work on Wednesday evening with her friend Rob when she discovered that she was the winner of the largest sole-ticket Powerball jackpot in US history.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Mavis elaborated on the fateful day:

“I was leaving work at night. I leave with this guy, Rob, who’s a Chicopee fireman. He said, ‘I bet someone has won with these numbers as birthdays’. I thought it’s never going to [be] me, it’s just a pipe dream I’ve always had […] He was reading these numbers and I was like, ‘I have these numbers.’”

I’m sure that we have all spent countless hours dreaming of all the things that we would buy and do if we had unlimited funds.

Now, I don’t know about you, but if I won the lottery, I would immediately quit my job and head over to foreign lands, where I could roam about to my heart’s content on some of planet Earth’s most beautiful beaches. Others, however, have different and decidedly more materialistic plans.

But not Mavis. Since she was named as the winner of the Powerball jackpot on Thursday evening, everyone has been been asking the same question; just what is she going to do with that three-quarters-of-a-billion dollars?
