Jessup bought three Quick Pick tickets for the Cash 5 drawing.
The player said she was at home with her sister on the night of the drawing when she checked her numbers and discovered she had won the $100,000 jackpot.
"She started running around the house hollering, 'We're rich! We're rich!'" Jessup recalled. "We were both jumping up and down, screaming and yelling. I asked her to pinch me four or five times."
Jessup said she plans to use her winnings to start her own janitorial services business.
"This is gonna be a game changer," she said. "Major game changer."
