The lucky lottery winner reportedly told officials she plans to put most of her 20 October winnings into her retirement fund. She added that it was her biggest Delaware lottery victory since she started playing it seven years ago. The woman and her friend immediately drove back to the state lottery’s headquarters and claimed the prize, which brought her winnings for the day to $400,000. “We just sat there in disbelief,” the woman said, according to the state lottery’s news release. Neither could believe the good fortune at play. The woman, who asked the lottery to not publicly release her name so she could preserve her privacy after the windfall, had made the fateful trip with her best friend. She celebrated on her way home by buying three more Serious Money tickets at a Dover convenience store – and one turned out to be a $300,000 top prize winner. Officials said the woman, from the community of Newark, waited about a week until 20 October to redeem her ticket and claim her prize at the lottery’s headquarters in Delaware’s capital, Dover.
