The police took the house of a woman who won the jackpot under tight security. Powerball in the amount of 758,7 million dollars.

Friday winner of the largest individual jackpot in US history has become Nurse from Chicopee, Massachusetts, Mavis Huanczyk.

"It's wonderful," Chicopee Police Officer Michael Wilk said Friday. “We want her to know we’re here if she needs her.”

Wilk said the officers were monitoring her house and even parked in the driveway. They talked with their neighbors and asked to report suspicious activity to the police at the house of Uanchik.

All because of the fact that the house has become a place of pilgrimage for the curious, who want to see where the newly-made millionaire lived before her incalculable wealth fell on her.

Neighbors complained to the police that strangers were sticking to them and wondered where the winner was.

It is known that Wanczyk quit her job on Thursday, having learned that she won the jackpot. She has an adult daughter and son. Mavis divorced 2012 with her husband, William Wanczyk, and was hit by a car at a bus stop in November of last year.

Lottery representatives said that she chose a lump sum payment of $ 480 million, or $ 336 million after the deduction of taxes.

The winner in this draw was not one person. There are a lot of people who won 1 a million dollars for five numbers that didn’t match Powerball. Minor prizes go up to $ 4 winnings for those who only have one number matched. A total of $ 135 million prize money falls to 9,4 million players who did not win the jackpot. But experience shows that many winners of secondary prizes never come for their winnings, because they do not understand what they have won.

The only jackpot that exceeded 1 billion dollars was announced in January 2016 by the lottery Powerball and made 1,6 billion dollars. But then the winners were three people, so the individual winnings of each were less than in this draw.

Билеты Powerball and Mega Millions available in all US states except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada and Utah.

The odds of losing all six winning numbers are currently about one per 292 million.

This means that instead of winning the lottery, you will most likely be killed by an asteroid (chances are 1 on 700 000), struck by lightning (1 on 183 million) or give birth to four twins (1 on 729 000).
