LITTLE ROCK, AR-- A Central Arkansas couple wins the lottery twice in one weekend, winning more than a million dollars. 
 
 
 
 The winnings for Steve and Terri Weaver of Stuttgart started Saturday, when Steve bought a $1 million scratch off and won. 
 
 
 
 "I almost had a heart attack right then, my heart started going a hundred times an hour and we kept looking for something wrong," said Steve. 
 
 
 
 The Weavers were feeling so lucky, the next day Terri bought a $250 thousand Taxes Paid Scratch off. She won $50,000 off of the game. 
 
 
 
 "I just couldn't believe it. It's not possible," said Steve. 
 
 
 
 In one weekend, together, the Weavers won $1,050,000. 
 
 
 
 The Weavers admit, they were a little afraid to claim their winnings from the lottery commission. 
 
 
 
 "I thought we were going to have to go do a lie detector test. And put our hand on the bible," said Steve. 
 
 
 
 The Weavers say they will play again and they will go to work tomorrow. 
 
 
 
 "It's unbelievable. It's just unbelievable " 
 
 
 
 The couple plans to invest the money. ||||| BOSTON (CBS) – The winner of the $758.7 million Powerball jackpot has been identified as Mavis Wanczyk of Chicopee. 
 
 Wanczyk, 53, a mother of two adult children, came to lottery headquarters in Braintree late Thursday morning to claim her prize and was introduced a short time later at a news conference. Now, she said, she’s “going to go hide in my bed.” 
 
 Wanczyk said she found out she had won as she was leaving work Wednesday night with a colleague. 
 
 “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!'” she said. 
 
 “We have validated the ticket. It is indeed the winning ticket,” said Michael Sweeney, the Executive Director of the Lottery. 
 
 “Last night, it was kind of like I didn’t realize I won,” Wanczyk said. “Today, as I’m driving here, I’m still like, ‘this isn’t true, this can’t be.’ And now it’s like, uh, I am the winner and I’m scared, but I’ll be okay.” 
 
 “I want to be just me, and just be alone, and just be able to be me and figure out what I want to do,” she said. 
 
 So what will she do first? 
 
 “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.” 
 
 She has been working at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield for 32 years – until Thursday. 
 
 “I have called and I have told them I will not be coming back.” 
 
 Wanczyk has a 31-year-old daughter and a 26-year-old son. Lottery rules allow the winner up to a year to come forward, but Wanczyk couldn’t wait. 
 
 “I just wanted to do this, I just wanted to get it over and done with and then everybody will just leave me alone,” she told reporters, who then asked her if she was already comfortable financially. 
 
 “I’ve been okay. I’m not gonna say I’m the richest person in the world, I can’t say I’m the poorest person in the world. I make do with what I have,” she said. “I just bought a car, September of last year, and I just plan on paying it off.” 
 
 The lone winning ticket in the nationwide lottery was sold at the Pride gas station and store on Montgomery Street in Chicopee. 
 
 “I was just there to buy it, for just luck,” Wanczyk said. “Just go in, buy a scratch ticket, and say maybe it’s me, maybe it won’t be me. It’s just a chance, a chance I had to take.” 
 
 “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.” 
 
 The store will get $50,000 for selling the winning ticket, which was purchased at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Pride owner Bob Bolduc. 
 
 “We’re going to give all the money to charity, that’s our pattern. We really believe in supporting local charities,” Bolduc told reporters. 
 
 The lottery initially said the Chicopee store had only sold a $1 million winner, but issued a correction just before 8 a.m. Thursday, more than six hours after announcing the lone winning ticket had been sold at Handy Variety on Common Street in Watertown. 
 
 There was a winning ticket sold at the Watertown shop, but it was for just $1 million.

 “When manually recording the names of the retailers that sold the jackpot winning ticket and the $1 million winning tickets, the information was transcribed incorrectly,” Sweeney said in a statement. 
 
 “I think we had a couple of excited people in a computer room at one in the morning being a little nervous about handling a $700 million winner,” he told WBZ NewsRadio 1030.

 So how does something like this happen? 
 
 “Human error, plain and simple,” Sweeney said. “If anyone’s looking for anyone to blame, the buck stops here with me, the executive director.”

 The winning numbers were 6-7-16-23-26 with the Powerball 4. 
 
 We are there for her. We will be keeping an extra eye on her.

 Wanczyk returned to her home in Chicopee Thursday night. Chicopee Police said they would be keeping an extra eye on her. 
 
 “I want to stay at my own house in my own peace and quiet,” she told reporters outside her home. 
 
 According to the Massachusetts Lottery, this is the largest jackpot won by a single ticket in North American lottery history. 
 
 Another $1 million ticket was sold at Sandy’s Variety on Washington Street in Dorchester. 
 
 “What happens is, the $50,000 will go to the store that actually sold the winning ticket, which is Pride station and store out in Chicopee. The good news for the people out here is that, in Watertown, a $1 million winning prize ticket was sold, as well as an additional $1 million sold in Dorchester. There is a prize for those, up to $10,000 on the $1 million prize,” Sweeney said. 
 
 This is the fourth time a Powerball jackpot winning ticket has been sold in Massachusetts. The others were in 2011, 2012 and 2013. 
 
 WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Lana Jones reports ||||| (CNN) -- A few lucky folks across the country will wake up Wednesday a whole lot richer after hitting Tuesday night's $636 million Mega Millions jackpot. 
 
 People who play the lottery love to dream about the things they'd do if they won the big one. Telling the boss off might top your list (not mine, oh no, not mine). Maybe a new mansion and a fancy car and a gasoline-powered turtleneck sweater (right, Steve Martin?). 
 
 We know at least two people matched all the winning numbers: 8, 20, 14, 17 and 39, and a Megaball of 7. If those showed up on your ticket, there are a few important things you should do before you go out and blow your winnings. 
 
 1. Sign the ticket. 
 
 You didn't already? Are you crazy? What if the roommate "claims" it? What if your significant other isn't as significant as you thought? What if you are showing it to someone, say over a beer or 10, and it goes missing? What if you forget it on your desk and you suddenly have the richest cleaning person in the U.S.? Sign it -- if you didn't when you bought it -- because whoever has an unsigned ticket when it gets turned in can call dibs on it. 
 
 It's also time for a selfie. With you and said ticket. It might even be a good idea to run to the drug store and buy a camera with actual film in it. 
 
 And then find a hiding place for that ticket. A safe deposit box is probably, yes, safest. Or go get a portable home safe. Remember, this ain't Canada; no one is going to track you down to hand you your millions. 
 
 2. Contact people who have dealt with large sums of money before 
 
 And we don't mean your Uncle Eddie who says he's doing great with his online stock portfolio or a cousin who just passed the bar. Start with one experienced attorney and look for a seasoned certified financial planner. You don't want to contact more than a few people, lest the word get out before you even get the big cardboard check. 
 
 Your biggest decision right now is whether to take the cash prize (the actual money in the pot) or take an annuity (the estimated value of the cash option plus whatever interest it will earn over 30 years). 
 
 It seems like a no-brainer to get it all up front and do your own investing, but a bright financial mind will help you see if it's best to get 30 checks over time or one check. 
 
 The lawyer you pick will also need to hook you up with specialists in subjects like estate planning, taxes and such. You might want to know if it's best to buy Mom a house or just give her some cash each year or set up some sort of trust fund. I vote to buy the house and let her live there. Wait, is that OK? Need a lawyer. 
 
 Why you keep playing the lottery 
 
 3. Figure out if you can stay anonymous 
 
 Chances are, you can't. Only a few states like South Carolina allow it, so you may want to hire a media consultant or a PR flack. Let someone else plan your appearances after you claim your coin. And remember, you don't have to make your decisions right away. You might have as long as 180 days to claim your prize, but check state rules while you're looking to see if you can remain anonymous. 
 
 But it would be best if you didn't have to give out your name, some former winners say. 
 
 If you can't, lie low for a while. If you can't lie low, it might be prudent to hire a bodyguard. We don't want you to be like the winner in Florida who ended up buried under a driveway. 
 
 4. Plan a trip 
 
 Speaking of staying out of sight, it might be a good time to head to South America. We hear it's nice this time of year. Or someplace like the U.S. Virgin Islands if you don't have a passport. 
 
 One set of winners went straight from the news conference to the airport. They were gone for weeks. If it were me, I might have the news conference at the airport, in front of the private jet. 
 
 If you do duck out for a few weeks, you probably won't come back to find the news media parked in front of your house and people won't recognize you in stores. 
 
 Now there probably will be a pile of mail and e-mails from relatives you never knew you had and messages on the answering machine (if you still have your phone connected). 
 
 Sudden lottery fortunes not always for the best 
 
 5. Don't give up just because you didn't win the top prize 
 
 Every year, a few of the people who match five numbers and win the measly runner-up prize fail to collect their winnings. So check those tickets again to see if you might have won $1 million. You don't want to be among the 2% of people (OK, it's like one or two) who threw away a million bucks. Last year there were $800 million in unclaimed lottery prizes. That's everything from $1 prizes to the $1 million prize (that can be even bigger if you play the multipliers). 
 
 It might be, for instance, the guy I talked to at a sandwich shop in the CNN food court who says he plays only when the jackpots are huge. He checks to see where the big winner lives and if it's not here, he tosses his tickets. 
 
 $800 million in lottery prizes go unclaimed 
 
 But if you do get a piece of the top prize, you'll be in rare territory. The jackpot is near the U.S. record, which was a $656 million Mega Millions prize, shared by three winning tickets in March 2012. 
 
 The $636 million estimate for Tuesday's jackpot was the latest figure as of around noon ET, updated from $586 million a day earlier, Virginia Lottery spokeswoman Rachel Buhse said. If there's one winner, and the winner chooses the lump-sum cash option, the payout would be $341.2 million. Otherwise, the jackpot would be distributed over 30 annual payments. 
 
 If no one wins Tuesday's jackpot, it will rise to at least $950 million for Friday's drawing, Buhse said.

– An Arkansas man won $1 million in a scratch-card lottery this weekend; the next day, his wife won $50,000. "I just couldn't believe it. It's not possible," says Steve Weaver. When they prepared to claim the cash, "I thought we were going to have to go do a lie detector test, and put our hand on the Bible," Weaver tells Fox 16. Together, Steve and Terri's tickets cost $30, Arkansas Matters reports. The couple isn't planning anything rash with their newfound $1,050,000; they'll invest it, keep working, and keep playing the lottery, they say.
