The big winner of the biggest jackpot lottery game has come out to collect her huge price which is in the range of - $758.7m (£590m)

Mavis Wanczyk who is a mother-of-two, 53, bought the ticket at a Chicopee, Massachusetts, petrol station.

The winner - whose lucky numbers were 6, 7, 16, 23 and 26, and 4 - told reporters she had already quit her job.


The biggest ever US Powerball jackpot was $1.6bn, although that was shared by three ticket holders in January 2016.


Massachusetts State Lottery told reporters the ticket in Wednesday night's draw had been validated.



"The first thing I want to do is just sit back and relax," said Ms Wanczyk, chewing gum

"I had a pipe dream.. and it came true."

She said while speaking to a journalist that she had picked her numbers based on relatives' birthdays.

Ms. Wanczyk also said that she has quit her medical job that she has been for 32-years now.

She added that she was "going to go hide in my bed".

Reporters asked if she had plans to treat herself to something nice, such as a fancy new car.

But Ms. Wanczyk replied she just bought a new car less than a year ago, and now plans to pay it off in full.
