| | Lottery Post: Woman and two children claim $171 million Powerball lottery jackpot |
 | | Florence Ayers, a Jackson, Pennsylvania bookkeeper who claimed the $93.4 million lump-sum cash prize from a $171.4 million Powerball jackpot, knows how to keep a secret. |
 | | Ayers, 69, was so tight-lipped for five weeks about the winning ticket that neighbors and her employer, Jack Basilon, were stunned Wednesday when the state Lottery announced she had won the second largest jackpot in Pennsylvania history. |
 | | Ayers, her son, James Ayers, 41, of Mars, Pennsylvania, and her daughter, Sharon Kreindel, 48, of Beachwood, Ohio (near Cleveland), presented the ticket at the lottery's Middletown headquarters on Monday, but declined to participate in a lottery news conference or make any public statements. |
