Robert Bailey, the 67-year-old winner from the Big Apple, told officials that “a family member gave me the numbers over twenty-five years ago and I faithfully play them.” The other winner, 51-year-old Lerynne West of Redfield, Iowa, says her newfound wealth will be spent on a “new car” and a “long vacation – or several”. Those who missed out on the record-breaking Mega Millions drawing kept the lottery fever going with this huge prize, claimed by two people in New York and Iowa. Lerynne West of Iowa and Robert Bailey of New York split one of the five biggest lottery jackpots won this year.
