“I received my lottery tickets and we went out again to [my sister’s] truck,” he continued. “I just put these on the bottom of my bag, or so I assumed, and didn’t consider them again until Sunday morning.”

The tickets ended up falling out of her bag and onto the floor of her sister’s truck! When the numbers were entered, Lerynne knew that she had won the jackpot, but she didn’t have the ticket!

“I told my sister to get in her truck and get that ticket and get up here right now! And she gradually drives,” Lerynne recounted.

Lerynne made it clear in her press conference that she intended to use her winnings to help others.
