Mavis Wanczyk Wins Record Powerball Prize, Immediately Quits Job

Mavis Wanczyk is taking her money and making a run for it. And we don’t blame her one bit. The native of Chicopee, Massachusetts is a mother of two who purchased a lottery ticket this month from a local Pride Station & Store and won… … $758 million . The 53-year old took home the largest single jackpot in Powerball history as a result, announcing almost immediately afterward in a press conference that she has quit her job as a hospital worker. And it bears repeating: We don’t blame her! “I had a pipe dream, and my pipe dream has finally come true, I wanted to retire and it came early!” Wanczyk told reporters today, adding: “I called [my employer] and told them I will not be coming back. The first thing I want to do is I just want to sit back and relax.” Lotto officials estimate that Mavis take home $336,350,655 after taxes. She says she selected the winning numbers based on her family’s birthdays, which is basically the same strategy used by every other individual who has ever played the lottery. The winning numbers chosen late Wednesday night were 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 – and Powerball number 4. What was the basis for Wanczyk settling on that final number? “I just bought it for luck,” she said. “Maybe it’ll be me, maybe it won’t be me. It was a chance I had to take.” Before she appeared at the aforementioned press conference with executives from the Massachusetts State Lottery, executive director Michael Sweeney referred to Wanczyk as “a prototypical Massachusetts resident.” “My perception of her is someone who’s a hard-working individual. Clearly she’s excited,” he said. The $758 million prize reflects the annuity option and it will be paid over 29 years. What will the single mother do with her winnings? “I want to just be me and be alone and… figure out what I want to do,” she said, admitting she has no immediate plans. She also said she didn’t follow the drawing closely last night, assuming she would not win of course. A colleague passed along the amazing news to her this morning. UPDATE : Mavis actually chose the lump sum instead of the monthly payments. She’ll receive $480 million, or $336 million after taxes.

Katy Perry: I’m Totally Still Banging Orlando Bloom!

Back in March,  Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom broke up  after just a few months of dating. They announced the split in a surprisingly cordial joint statement that frankly felt way too polite. If two of your friends broke up in the same fashion, you’d be left thinking, Well, either they weren’t that into each other, or they’ll be smashing again before the year is out. It seems impossible that anyone could be enter into a relationship with Katy Perry or Orlando Bloom halfheartedly, so we should’ve predicted that the attractive A-listers would once again end up knockin’ boots. As recently as last week, it was widely reported that Katy was dating Robert Pattinson . The rumor appeared to be BS from the start, what with Pattinson being engaged to FKA Twigs , and all. This week, the rumor is that Katy is back with Orlando, and given her evasive answers on the topic in a recent interview, we can assume it’s legit. “Well, you know, I think people are in and out of your life,” Katy said, when asked about the recent photos of her and Bloom attending a concert together. “It’s nice to keep people you love around you. When you get older, lines get blurred. And you know what, I’m really busy. I’m about to go on tour for another year.” A source close to Perry says she and Orlando are spending a lot of time together and “open to seeing what happens.” Add to that the fact that Katy recently admitted to rekindling a romance after randomly texting an ex, and it’s pretty clear what’s going on here. So stop trying to give us the run-around, Katy. Also, while you’re at it, can you stop dispensing homespun wisdom like you’re sitting in her rocker and knitting a quilt in every damn interview? Let’s take a moment to remember the woman is only 32 years old! She’s talking about “blurred lines” in relationships like she’s too close to the sweet release of death to worry about labels. Helpful note for other folks in their early thirties: If your significant other asks you to define your relationship, don’t be all, “Well, I’m so old that the lines have blurred, ya know? Now be a dear and go stir me up some Metamucil.” That kind of talk literally only works if you’re Katy Perry. View Slideshow: 32 Hottest Katy Perry Photos of All Time
