The winning cash prize enabled Toliver to leave a job, which made her unhappy. She couldn't wait to celebrate the milestone.
Speaking about the achievement, Toliver recalled the excitement when she first learnt about the cash prize.
“I screamed ... I’ve never hollered that loud before. I needed to calm down. I was lost for a minute,” she said, per People.
After gathering herself, the Christian County resident travelled to the Kentucky Lottery offices in Louisville, where she received a check for $64,800, her net profit after taxes. The money was enough for the mother to quit her job because she was unhappy.
"I was unhappy with my job, and God made a way," she said while expressing relief at quitting and hope for fresh opportunities.
Lottery officials will give Skyline Fuel, the store where Toliver purchased her winning ticket, no bonus.
Man wins GH¢300m
In a previous story, YEN.com.gh reported that a man who won a GH¢300m lottery jackpot in 2022 decided not to tell his wife and child about his fortune, fearing that it would make them lazy and complacent.
The man, known only as Mr. Li, claimed his prize in 2022 in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi region. He wore a yellow costume that concealed his identity as he received a giant cheque from the lottery officials.
Mr Li told Fortune News that he did not want his family to know about his windfall because he was worried that they would lose their motivation to work or study hard.
