Tina's advice proved the old adage that "mother knows best" when Pree matched all five numbers in the Feb. 28 drawing, 11-22-25-26-28, earning him a $100,000 prize.

"The first thing I did was call my mother," Pree said. "She started screaming!"

Tina said she has some further advice for Pree regarding what he should do with the money: "Hopefully he'll share with me since I told him to play!"
