Massachusetts lottery winner Mavis Wanczyk became famous in 2017 when she won the $758.7 million Powerball jackpot, the largest single-ticket lottery prize in U.S. history at that time. The 53-year-old hospital worker from Chicopee, Massachusetts, chose the lump-sum payment of $480 million before taxes.
Mavis\“s winning numbers were selected using a combination of family birthdays and lucky numbers. Her life changed dramatically overnight, and she immediately announced her retirement from her job at Mercy Medical Center, where she had worked for 32 years.
The win sparked massive media attention and lottery fever across Massachusetts and the entire country. Mavis\“s story represents the classic American dream of instant wealth transformation through lottery games. |
