jdegree Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 CRANSTON, R.I. ? An 81-year-old Rhode Island woman won last month's $336.4 million Powerball jackpot, sleeping with the winning ticket in her Bible until coming forward to claim the sixth-largest U.S. prize on Tuesday, a family representative said. "I wanted to say that I am very happy and I?m very proud and this will make my family very happy," Louise White reportedly said during a news conference Tuesday at state lottery headquarters in Cranston. "We are truly blessed. Thank you." Attorneys for White, who is from Newport, said she was a regular lottery player who bought the winning ticket at a Newport Stop & Shop supermarket where she had stopped for rainbow sherbet. The ticket is being claimed in the name of the Rainbow Sherbet Trust. White kept the winning ticket in a Bible after she realized she won. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/06/81-year-old-rhode-island-woman-wins-3364m-powerball-jackpot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
