LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin grocery bagger took home the $10,000 grand prize at the National Grocers Association's 26th Best Bagger Championship in Las Vegas.

Stephanie Teteak, 30, who has worked at grocery stores for more than 13 years and is currently employed at Larry's Piggly Wiggly in Kaukauna, Wis., was named the top bagger among the 24 competitors Monday, the Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday.

Teteak and her competitors were judged in categories including speed, accuracy and weight distribution.

"Bagging is the most important job in the store," Teteak said. "No bag of mine goes out there, that isn't perfect."

Teteak said she will likely spend her winnings on paying off her bills.
