"I went to buy a ticket for this weekend's draw and then checked this ticket in the process," the woman said. "I had absolutely no idea. It's crazy!"
Lottery officials said the ticket, which earned a total jackpot of $1,086,400, was unregistered, so officials had no way to contact the winner until she came forward.
"The first thing I will do is pay off my mortgage," the winner said. "I am going to get myself a few diamonds as well! I am working right now, but tonight, I am definitely going to be spoiling myself to something nice for dinner to celebrate."
