She has decided to take a lump sum payment of about $27million, which she plans to spend on a new house, vacations and cars.
She also wants to spend the money on college tuition for her younger family members, including 7-month-old son Benjamin
Kelsey Zachow(24)single mother in Mt Clemens, Michigan has become America's newest millionaire after turning in her winning $66million lottery ticket.
Zachow
says she has been buying lottery tickets two times a week for the past
five years, spending an estimated $10,000 on tickets.
So
as part of her usual habit, she stopped by the Sonny's Market in Mt
Clemens on her way to work on June 13 and picked up four tickets with
her regular numbers, and one easy pick. .
'Friday
the 13th has always been a really lucky day for me,' she said. 'I went
home that night and I’m like nothing really good happened. (I thought)
that’s weird.'
It wasn't until 11 days later, on June 24, that she realized she won.
She stopped back at the market and checked her numbers at the stand, but she was prompted to take the tickets to the teller.
The cashier then broke the news that Zachow 'won big'.
She couldn't believe it, so she ran back to her car, locked the door and checked her numbers on the phone.
