POMONA, Calif. (KABC) --

A Pomona nurse who won the record-breaking Powerball jackpot was given a ticket by her boss.

The 62-year-old woman is a senior registered nurse at Park Avenue Health Care and Wellness Center in Pomona, according to a spokesperson for nursing home owner Shlomo Rechnitz.

Rechnitz bought 18,000 tickets for his employees and residents at 80 nursing homes across California. Rechnitz sent 600 tickets by mail to the Park Avenue Health Care and Wellness Center.

The winning ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven located at 4092 Chino Hills Pkwy in Chino Hills.

The director of the wellness center confirmed to ABC7 the winner of the Powerball jackpot works at the facility as a nurse.

According to the director, they are unsure if the winning ticket was one of the tickets purchased by Rechnitz or if she bought it herself.

Rechnitz's spokesperson told ABC7 the nurse was unaware she'd won until her son sent her a picture of the ticket over the phone.

Even though the nurse knew she'd won, the spokesperson said she still finished her shift before going home.
