An American Jewish philanthropist reportedly bought one of the winning tickets in the Powerball lottery for one of his employees at a California nursing home.
According to reports on Thursday, a nurse from Pomona who won a split of the record-breaking $1.59 billion Powerball jackpot was given the ticket by her boss, nursing home owner Shlomo Reichnitz.
The 62-year-old woman is a senior registered nurse at Park Avenue Health Care and Wellness Center in Pomona, a spokesperson for Reichnitz told ABC7 in Los Angeles.
The other two winning tickets were sold in Tennessee and Florida, where no winners have been identified as of yet.
Managers at Reichnitz's California nursing home told The New York Post he bought 18,000 Powerball tickets for employees and patients at 80 nursing homes across California, one of which was a winner.
