Boss Gave Powerball Winning Nurse Her Ticket

UPDATE: The daughter of the nurse said to have won the Powerball jackpot says her mom did NOT win. Developing.. Via ABC7:  A Pomona nurse won the record-breaking Powerball jackpot with a ticket given to her by her boss.

The 62-year-old woman is a senior registered nurse at Park Avenue Health Care and Wellness Center in Pomona, according to a spokesperson for nursing home owner Shlomo Rechnitz.

Rechnitz bought 18,000 tickets for his employees and residents at 80 nursing homes across California. The winning ticket was purchased in Chino Hills.

The spokesperson told ABC7 the nurse was unaware she’d won until her son sent her a picture of the ticket over the phone.

Even though the nurse knew she’d won, the spokesperson said she still finished her shift before going home.

The nurse is married and has seven children, six of whom are also nurses.
