“I took the ticket back into the store and I asked the lady working if she could scan it,” Brannan said. “She told me she didn’t even have to scan it to know I had won because the numbers matched. It was just so unbelievable!”
Brannan purchased the ticket on her way in to work at Pump N Pete's, 402 W. Austin Blvd. in Nevada, and spent the rest of the day filled with nervous excitement about the win.
“It was so hard to concentrate because I had this ticket in my purse!” she joked.
