"I stopped to get gas on my way to work and decided to buy a Lottery ticket while I was there," the player said. "I scratched the ticket once I got in my car and couldn't believe it when I saw I had won $500,000. I'm still in shock."
The ticket that earned the woman her big payday was a $500 Fever scratch-off game.
The woman said she plans to use her winnings to buy a house and a new car.
