The Powerball lottery is among the world's largest lotteries, typically offering a cash prize of hundreds of millions of dollars. Recently, the latest Powerball winner was announced, claiming a whopping $590 million. Gloria C. Mackenzie from Zephyrhills, Florida, has already collected her prize. The Biggest Jackpot Ever Recorded The $590 million jackpot has been labeled as the largest in Powerball's lottery history. Several states oversee the Powerball, making it one of the most lucrative lotteries globally. It was estimated that by the time of the draw, approximately 80% of the total number of possible combinations had been purchased, statistically increasing the chances of someone winning. The victorious individual was Gloria C. Mackenzie, who bought her ticket on May 18, 2013.
Gloria Mackenzie declined the media, unwilling to have her face exposed through numerous channels of communication around the globe. However, the entire world was watching as she took a bold stride forward and claimed the prize.
The eagerly anticipated draw on May 18th became one of the most highly anticipated events ever. According to an affiliate of ABC in Florida, the winner arrived at the state headquarters on Wednesday afternoon. Gloria, in an act of generosity, decided to share half of her winnings with her son Scott. It was at Publix, a fresh produce store, where she impulsively purchased the winning ticket. Remarkably, another lottery player graciously allowed Gloria to go ahead and buy the winning ticket, which ultimately led to her massive jackpot.
Florida law prohibits lottery winners from remaining anonymous. Zephyrhills, the town where Mackenzie lives, is also home to approximately 13,000 residents. The majority of the community was eager to discover who among them had been the fortunate winner. In 2012, a massive lottery prize of 587 million dollars was split between two players.
