A woman
from Scotch Plains, New Jersey bought splashed out on a few scratch-off tickets
earlier this month and became the first person to win the $1 million top prize
offered by the New Jersey Lottery's $150
Million Cash Spectacular game.
Sylvia
Vasquez bought her winning ticket on February 11, from W's Freshmart on Route
22 East in Union and as soon as she realized she'd uncovered a small fortune
she jumped in her car and sped to the lottery headquarters forty miles away in
Lawrenceville.
"I
never thought my dream would come true but today, we made it," Vasquez
told lottery staff.
She now intends to start a college fund for her children and is considering buying a house.
