A 29-year old driver from Swansea, Wales has plead guilty for failing to stop after a road accident in which he brutally hit a young boy as he was crossing the street. After watching the cringeworthy footage, it’s hard to believe that such a small kid survived after being thrust into the air the way he was. But besides breaking his arm and fracturing his collarbone, the young boy walked away with no fatal damages. The driver also plead guilty for failing to report the crash. He was sentenced to 160 hours of unpaid work and a 12-month community order — which means his punishment will be carried out in the community instead of prison. Did the courts take it too easy on him, though?

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.

Look, everyone and their mother is going to be playing Hurley’s numbers from LOST today for the chance to win $640 million in tonight’s Mega Millions draw. (You know: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.) Your friendly Movieline editors aren’t necessarily endorsing the insane gamble that is the national lottery, but if you’re going to throw your hat and your dollars into the ring with the rest of America by going on a last-minute ticket buying frenzy (get ’em by 7:45 pm tonight, California!), here are the winning numbers that nabbed the jackpot for Nic Cage and Bridget Fonda, Bow Wow, and a handful of other lucky folks on the big screen. Lottery Ticket (2010) Bow Wow and his grandma hit it big with a $375 million jackpot… with numbers from (what else?) a fortune cookie. Winning numbers: 04 32 33 42 45 (21) — It Could Happen to You (1994) Based on the true story of a cop who split a winning ticket as a tip with a local waitress. Lesson learned: Don’t give lotto tickets as tips (or anyone with whom you don’t want to share ), maybe unless your waitress looks like Bridget Fonda. Winning numbers: 06 12 16 26 64 08 — Paycheck (2003) “Reverse engineer” Ben Affleck saves the world from a future-telling device and gets his memory wiped, but not before leaving himself the winning numbers to a lottery jackpot. Winning numbers: 17 44 04 26 37 40 and 22 — Lucky Numbers (2000) Weatherman John Travolta and his ditzy girlfriend Lisa Kudrow rig the lottery and then get her cousin Michael Moore to buy the winning ticket. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the entire movie all over again just to confirm the numbers but these numbers are visible in the trailer, should you choose to use them. Winning numbers: 22 70 16 9 27 07 — Waking Ned Devine (1998) It’s worth noting that winning the lotto in the movies quite often leads to death, betrayal, and other assorted ills. Take Ned Devine, for instance, who dies — happily, I suppose — from joy when he hits the jackpot. Winning numbers: 19 40 04 07 25 29 — All About the Benjamins (2002) If you play these numbers, you are required to buy your lottery ticket in the style of Mike Epps. Winning numbers: 15 30 37 38 45 47 Remember, gambling can become addictive, your chances of winning are insanely slim, and Movieline makes no promises that these numbers will win you anything at all. But feel free to cut me in on your winnings if you hit the big time! Consider it a tip. Good luck! Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
