"I've never been a big lottery player- in fact, I've never won anything big in my life- until now!" the winner who wished to remain anonymous said.

She hopes to take her family on a vacation with her prize money.

"My niece is especially fascinated by the history of Egypt, so I'm hoping to surprise everyone with a special trip there," she said.
