A Kentucky woman says she screamed like never before when she won a lottery jackpot earlier this month.
According to the Kentucky Lottery, Reshawn Toliver was at a gas station in the Hopkinsville area when she bought five of the $5 Wild Cash Multiplier scratch-off tickets.
Toliver scratched her tickets when she went home. As she scratched the last ticket off, she revealed three “7" symbols in the second game.
Lottery officials said by matching three identical symbols in the same game, players win the prize shown for that game.


quote:

Toliver uncovered the game’s $90,000 top prize.
“I screamed! I’ve never hollered that loud before,” she said.
Toliver told lottery officials that her son and boyfriend were in the other room and didn’t know what was happening.
“They were like, ‘What’s going on? Are you OK?’’ she said. “I told them I needed to calm down. I was lost for a minute.”


quote:

Toliver ended up receiving a check for $64,800 on March 4.
She told lottery officials that she had been wanting to quit her job and winning the lottery allowed her to do that.
“I was unhappy with my job and God made a way,” Toliver said. “I felt bad leaving but I’m relieved to be able to quit my job.”
The gas station will receive $900 for selling the winning ticket.

Maybe she just had a shitty job and this allows her to quit for a year or two.

I wish I was in a position to quit my job for 64k

After I paid vehicle off and threw some at student loans, would have enough left to treat myself to a nice box combo from Raising canes

Or to find a job that is less shitty

Crazy how many media outlets copy and pasted this exact same story word for word. Clicking more results under this Google search and it seems Neverending. None of them mention what job she actually quit though haha

64k is more than enough to quit your job for 6 months to a year and figure something else out

I bet she blows it on some fancy car or something like that though

Maybe she will get kicked off of food stamps and other government freebies now. She acts like 60,000 is enough to retire on. She is going to have a rude awakening

CNAs, fast food workers, and gas station cashiers do this every year in LA at tax season. Take a few weeks/a month off and go back to work while spending the tax return money on stupid things.

She might be 100% level headed and just looking for another job. Maybe this buys her several months to a year to find another job. Not everyone is in a life long career type of job at any given moment. If you are, it would be a different story.
I wouldn't quit my job even if I won a million.
