$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
FUKUCHI, Japan, July 2 (UPI) -- Yone Minagawa, the world's oldest person at 114 years old, Monday was presented a certificate issued by Guinness World Records.
Fukuchi Mayor Koji Urata gave her the certificate from the British record-keeping organization officially recognizing her as the world's living human at a ceremony at the nursing home where she lives, the Kyodo news service reported.
Minagawa went to the top of the longevity list Jan. 28, the day American Emma Faust Tillman died at age 114.
Tomoji Tanabe, a 111-year-old resident of Miyakonojo, was given a certificate for being the world's oldest man from Guinness World Records last month.
