• She learned about the win when she checked her ticket. At work that day, she kept on saying to her co worker: “Check it out, check it out! I’ve got the winning ticket!”
• When she realized her ticket was worth $1 million, she called the other group members to announce the good news.
• Each their turn, they’d say: “Are you sure?”, to which she answered: “Like, yeah! Don’t you love your sister-in-law now?”

Quote
• “What an extraordinary experience. I’ve been taking care of the group for a year and I had a feeling I’d be instrumental in our family’s win!”
