81-year-old Rhode Island woman wins $336.4M Powerball jackpot

An 81-year-old Rhode Island woman, Louise White won last month's $336.4 million Powerball jackpot, sleeping with the winning ticket in her Bible until coming forward today to claim the sixth-largest U.S. prize.

She bought three lottery tickets for $9 one of which had the winning numbers. Ms White said she didn't believe it when she realised she had won the jackpot! She checked online to be sure then asked her Son and Daughter-In-Law whom she lives with to make sure. Everyone confirmed the ticket by comparing the numbers on her ticket with the winning numbers .

She will take a lump sum payment of $210 million, the highest ever for Powerball, officials said. The jackpot was the third largest in Powerball history and the largest ever won in Rhode Island, officials said.
Since she bought the ticket from Newport Stop & Shop supermarket, the ticket is being claimed in the name of the Rainbow Sherbet Trust. The supermarket doesn't get any bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Why don't things like this happen to me na?? Lol. I am happy for her though, at least she will ENJOY the rest of her years on earth in LUXURY.

Congratulations Ma'am!
