TL;DR

The storeowners of Las Palmitas Mini Market in Los Angeles, who sold the $1 billion Powerball ticket, believe the winner is an elderly Latina woman from their local community. The winner has yet to come forward, but the storeowners plan to review security footage to confirm their suspicions. The winner has the option to receive the full prize paid out over 29 years or take a lump sum upfront. The storeowners will also receive a portion of the jackpot as per California law. Celebrations at the store were interrupted by a woman claiming to be the winner, but she left without showing a ticket or giving her name. The storeowners are unsure of their plans for the money, but may use it for their daughters' education.
