An 84-year-old Florida woman has won the largest unshared jackpot in US lottery history - a prize of $590m (£383m). Mother of four Gloria MacKenzie, who retired to Florida from Maine, bought the ticket in Zephyrhills on 18 May. She opted to take a single lump sum of about $370m rather than the full amount spread over 30 years. She appeared at the lottery HQ in Tallahassee with her son but did not speak to reporters. But in a statement she said she bought the ticket in a Publix supermarket after another buyer "was kind enough to let me go ahead in line". The $370m is reduced to about $278m after taxes. The biggest lottery win in US history was $656m in March 2012 - but that was split three ways. Ms MacKenzie retired to Zephyrhills more than a decade ago with her husband, Ralph. He died in 2005. source:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22793155
