    A Wellington woman's crediting her grandson for her whopping 17.2-million-dollar Powerball prize


    She bought the winning ticket at New World Whitby, in Porirua.

    The woman, who wants to stay anonymous, says she wouldn't have stopped at the supermarket and bought the ticket, if she hadn't been out walking with her grandson.
