The scratch-off ticket turned out to be a $30,000 winner.
"I must have scanned it on my phone 15 times," Alderman said. "I thought it wasn't real."
Alderman said the money will go toward an ongoing home improvement project, paying bills and funding her upcoming wedding.
"I was shaking when I signed the ticket," Alderman said. "This is awesome!"
