A woman was accused of falsely claiming to win the Powerball jackpot — the third largest ever won. Video footage shows the woman crying with joy at the LA store that sold the winning ticket. But the granddaughter of the store owner said the winner has yet to come forward. California Lottery confirmed on Thursday that the store had sold the winning ticket, which is the third-largest Powerball jackpot — and the sixth-largest US lottery jackpot — ever won. Californian Edwin Castro won a record $2 billion Powerball Jackpot last year, with a ticket purchased 13 miles from Herrera's store, the Mail reported.
