Mavis L. Wanczyk, the mother of two who won the $758 million Powerball jackpot, received additional police security, according to TMZ.
Police in her hometown of Chicopee, Massachusetts, told the gossip website that she will receive extra patrol rounds to make sure she’s safe.
Police also “think Mavis is now a magnet for leeches, crooks, and scammers who want a piece of the pie,” TMZ eloquently stated. They’re looking to see if there are people casing her home, loitering on her property, or are harassing her.
They believe that people with bad intentions will be scared away by the additional police presence.
