@mavisl041: Mavis Wanczyk bought the winning ticket for Wednesday's $758.7 million Powerball jackpot --- the largest haul in North American history for a single winning ticket. The ticket was sold at the Pride Station and Store in Chicopee, located some 90 miles west of Boston! Handy Variety in Watertown and Sandy's Variety in Dorchester both sold a ticket worth $1 million. Initially, the Massachusetts State Lottery erroneously announced that the jackpot winning ticket was sold at Handy Variety. The lottery issued a correction Thursday morning. "When manually recording the names of the retailers that sold the jackpot winning ticket and the $1 million winning tickets, the information was transcribed incorrectly. We apologize for the confusion this created and remain thrilled that a jackpot winning ticket and two $1 million winning tickets were sold here in Massachusetts.
