"Well, I always watch the Dallas Cowboys and I had started writing down some numbers and then the game cam on so, I finished the numbers out on the jersey of the cowboys" said Nita Jacobs.
Jacobs says she wrote the numbers down and then checked her ticket.
"I just went a screaming and then I thought I had maybe wrote down the number wrong right off the tv screen. So here I am in my pajamas, eleven oclock and I come down here to the store. They scanned the ticket and sure enough it was."
Best Mart employee, Ramona Magsby, says this win has people buying lottery tickets.
"I had a man in this morning purchase 31" said Ramona Magsby.
Nita Jacobs says she plans on spending the money on a new car and a trip to Australia.
