“It’s just unreal! I’ve had two wins in the past few weeks and now last night I won $2.77 million. It’s crazy!
“It’s like you get your lucky time in your life and it all happens. That’s how it feels to me.

The woman plans to spend her winnings on helping her family and playing golf.
“All we want to do is play golf a couple of times a week and kick back,” she said.
“We’ve worked hard our whole lives. It’s time to put the boots down. It’s just amazing.
“It’s just unreal! This is more than I can even get my head around.
“I could not sleep last night! This means we don’t have to worry about paying bills and we can help our family out. It’s just beautiful!”
