Colorado woman wins lottery days after quitting job

Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A Colorado woman was rescued from the unemployment line when she won a $3.3 million lottery jackpot days after quitting her job.

The Colorado Lottery said Aurora resident Yahnique S. left her position as a certified nursing assistant because she had been feeling burned out by the job.

"My last day was Jan. 17, but I didn't have anything lined up yet," she said.

Yahnique discovered Jan. 28 that she didn't have to rush to find a new job -- she won $3.3 million playing the lottery.

Her husband, Bruce, said he was suspicious when Yahnique showed him the winning numbers -- 10-14-25-30-31-32 -- on her computer.

"I was highly suspicious but then I thought, there's no way she could mock up their whole website," Bruce said. "I mean, she knows her way around the computer. But not that well."

Yahnique said the first things she's going to do with her winnings are pay bills and make some home improvements.
