    Pomona, CA – Just hours after word broke that a supervisor at a California nursing home was one of the three winners in the Powerball lottery, her relatives have told reporters that the supposed win was nothing more than a prank.

    According to The Daily News, the daughter of the unnamed nursing supervisor at Park Avenue Healthcare and Wellness Center in Pomona said that her brother had fabricated the win, calling his mother at work and telling her that she was one of the winners of the $1.6 billion jackpot.

    As previously reported on VIN News, Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz bought over 15,000 Powerball tickets which he distributed among the employees and residents at Park Avenue, one of over 80 facilities owned by the California philanthropist.

    California Lottery spokesman Russ Lopez warned that stories of fake tickets have been spreading all over social media.

    “People have to take claims with some skepticism until we verify the winner,” said Lopez.

    Earlier in the day Lopez had said he had heard of the story of the nurse’s win and was hoping that it would be confirmed.

    “I certainly hope it’s her,” commented Lopez. “That would be a great story.”
