Remember that $750 million Powerball jackpot back on October 27th? Of course you do! It was the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history! And there were two winning tickets sold: one in New York that hadn’t been claimed and one in Iowa that went missing. But the riches remain unclaimed no longer!
Lerynne West, a 51-year-old grandmother from central Iowa, has found the winning ticket that she misplaced a few weeks ago! It turns out that this whole time, it was sitting on the floor of her sister’s truck. And now, Lerynne gets $343.9 million.
Not surprisingly, Lerynne got a bit emotional at the press conference when she started talking about a grandchild that passed away.
West said that she has big plans for the money, including sharing it with friends and family, going on a vacation or two and donating to several charitable causes.
