POWERBALL WINNER EMILIA DELGADO CHECKS TICKETS ONLINE
Emilia Delgado always checks her ticket online but when she saw that her numbers matched the Powerball jackpot, she just didn’t believe it. She had also heard stories of Powerball winners, who thought they had won millions, only to find that the jackpot was shared between lots of people.
Emilia first went out and bought a newspaper which confirmed that there was only one winner and that winner was her. Still not convinced, she drove past one of the giant Powerball billboards and this time she believed that indeed, she was the recipient of the Powerball jackpot reward.
Emilia Delgado decided to take the onetime cash payout of $16,195,787.02 and says she plans to help ease her family’s financial burdens. Delgado did not want to attend a press conference, saying that she wanted people to respect her privacy.
