  The woman who purchased the sole winning Powerball ticket has been identified as 53-year-old Mavis L. Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, who came forward Thursday to claim her winnings.

  来自马萨诸塞州的奇科皮53岁的玛薇丝.万齐克只购买了一张威力球彩票就中头奖,她周四前来领取她的奖金。

  Wanczyk purchased the winning Powerball ticket at the Pride Station & Store in Chicopee, Massachusetts. She becomes the winner of the largest single-ticket Powerball jackpot in history.

  万齐克在马萨诸塞州奇科皮的骄傲加油站便利商店购买了这张幸运彩券,成为史上最大的单彩威力球彩票的得主。

  Wanczyk, a mother of a daughter and son, says she chose the winning numbers based on her family’s birthdays. She says she does not plan to return to her job at a local hospital. She appeared at a press conference with officials from the Massachusetts State Lottery on Thursday afternoon.

  万齐克有一个女儿和一个儿子,她说她根据家人的生日选择了中奖的数字。她说她不打算再回到当地医院工作。周四下午,她与马萨诸塞州彩票中心的官员一起出席了新闻发布会。

  During the press conference, Wanczyk told reporters she found out she had won the jackpot as she was leaving work Wednesday night with a colleague.

  在新闻发布会上,万齐克告诉记者,她在周三晚上和同事一起下班时发现自己赢得了大奖。

  He’s reading these numbers, and I pull mine out, and I go, ’Hey, I have that number. And I have that -- I have that!’ she told reporters. "And he goes, ’Let me see that ticket. You just won!’"

  “他在看这些数字,我把我的数字也拿出来,然后我说,‘嘿,我有这个数字。’”我有—我有!”她告诉记者。他说,“让我看看那张票。你中奖了!”

  The numbers she chose were based off the birthdays of family members and an assortment of random selections, Wanczyk said.

  万齐克说,她选择的数字是基于家庭成员的生日和各种各样的随机选择。

  My numbers were kind of basically random, like maybe with our birthdays, one from here, one from there, she said. "There’s a thing between me and my mom and my stepfather and I have a friend, we all go out to dinner on a Friday night and we play Keno, and our number is four. I just happened to choose, and it worked to my advantage."

  “我的号码基本上是随机的,比如我们的生日,一个来自这里,一个来自那里,”她说。“周五晚上在我和我的母亲、继父还有一个朋友出去吃饭,我们打基诺,当时我们的号码是4。然后我就选这个数字了,没想到真的中了。”

  Lottery officials said Wanczyk chose to take a lump-sum payment of $480 million, or $336 million after taxes, the Associated Press reported, rather than a larger amount spread out over many annual payments.

  据美联社报道,彩票中奖的官员表示,万齐克选择一次性提取4.8亿美元的奖金,即税后3.36亿美元,而没有选择每年提取一部分获得更多的奖金总额。

  Wanczyk said the first thing she’ll do is take some time off.

  万齐克说她要做的第一件事就是休息一段时间。

  I just want to sit back and relax, Wanczyk said. "I had a pipe dream, and my pipe dream has finally come true. I wanted to retire and it came early."

  “我只是想坐下来放松一下,”万齐克说。“我曾经做过白日梦,不过我的白日梦终于实现了。我一直想退休,而现在我终于可以提前退休了。”

  CBS Boston reports the store will get $50,000 for selling the winning ticket. This is the fourth time a Powerball jackpot winning ticket has been sold in Massachusetts. The others were sold in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

  哥伦比亚广播公司CBS报道,该彩票售出商店将获得5万美元中奖彩票出售奖金。这是第4次威力球头奖彩票在马萨诸塞州售出。其余分别在2011年、2012年和2013年出售。

  Ahead of the press conference, Michael Sweeney, executive director of the Massachusetts lottery, called Wanczyk "a prototypical Massachusetts resident."

  在新闻发布会上,马萨诸塞州彩票的执行董事迈克尔.斯威尼称万齐克是“一个典型的马萨诸塞州居民”。

  My perception of her is someone who’s a hard-working individual. Clearly she’s excited, Sweeney said.

  “我认为她是一个努力工作的人。很明显她很兴奋,” 斯威尼说。

  The winning numbers selected late Wednesday night were 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 and Powerball number 4.

  周三晚些时候选出的中奖号码是6、7、16、23、26和威力球4。

  The $758 million prize reflects the annuity option, paid over 29 years.

  如果选择29年支付的话,共可领取7.58亿美元的奖金。

  The odds of winning Wednesday night’s drawing were 1 in 292.2 million.

  周三晚上的比赛中获胜的几率为2.922亿分之一。
