Widow has 758 million reasons to quit her job

NEW YORK - A widowed Massachusetts mother of two who scooped the largest single jackpot in US history - $758.7 million - said it was a dream came true on Thursday and immediately quit her hospital job of 32 years. Mavis Wanczyk, 53, said she had played the lottery as a "pipe dream", never believing it would one day be possible for her to retire early from the Mercy Medical Center, where she worked in patient care.

On Thursday that dream came true.

"I've called them and told them I will not be coming back," she said to laughter at a media conference hosted by the Massachusetts State Lottery.
