“My dad and I like to play the Lottery together, so every once in a while, one of us will stop and buy some tickets,” said the winner. “I bought a few Powerball tickets and gave them to my dad to check the day after the drawing. When he told me I won $100,000, I thought he was joking. When he showed me the ticket and the winning numbers, I was so happy! I still can’t believe that this is real.”
The winner recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to help her family.
