Cleaning Lady Cleans Up!

The 67-year-old cleaning woman stepped forward Friday to claim the $294 million Mega Millions jackpot, the second-largest jackpot ever to go to a single person in North America.

Williams cleaned homes after retiring as a custodian at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Friends and family described her as a down-to-earth woman who fully intended to keep an appointment to clean a client's home this week until she was told she had to meet with financial advisers in Boston.

"She is a wonderful person," said Mary Recko, a worker in the physical plant department at UMass-Lowell. "Everybody liked her. All of us here are so happy that it was her who won."

The SO was saying the other day that no one from Lowell needed to win the lottery unless they were the hired help.
