A press conference held today, a lottery representative told the media, that she is expected to come shortly and receive the bumper prize. She bought her ticket from a concern known as Ady’s Convenience and Car Wash. This concern won $50,000 on selling the ticket. Reputed news sources say that Holly Lahti was doing the job of a bank teller. However, she quit her job as and when she won this huge sum.
