Dylan Sheldon was finishing his overnight shift at Aquatic, a bathtub factory in Three Rivers, when he says he saw his supervisor surrounded by colleagues. She was holding the winning Powerball ticket - now $310 million richer!

"She told me all the numbers matched up - she clocked out and was going home!" Sheldon said.

A human resources manager at Aquatic confirms an employee has won the lottery, but would not give us her name.

"At this moment she's still employed. She has not given any formal notice that she will not be back," the manager said.

Employees at the Shell station where the winning ticket was sold say they would leave their jobs - and they wouldn't blame the winner one bit if she chooses to do the same.

"I'd quit my job to begin with," said June Evans, an employee at the Shell gas station where the ticket was sold.

The winning numbers were 21 - 39 - 40 - 55 - 59 PB: 17.
