North Canton, Ohio - A store clerk tried to persuade a customer at the BP station where she works to buy the last ticket on a roll of the Magnificent Millions lottery game.

"I always joke that the last ticket is the winning one, but he said he only had enough money for three tickets," she said.

The single mother 32, - with nine maxed out credit cards and $8,500 in debt for her associate's degree - bought what turned out to be a $1 million winning ticket with a $10 bill she found in the store Friday.

After showing a customer that she did indeed have a winning ticket, she locked the store while she took a moment in the bathroom.

"I was numb. I still am," she said.

She opted to take 20 yearly payments of $50,000, or $34,500 after taxes.

Good for her. That guy shoulda listened. Bet he would kick hiself if he knew.

Kinda sucks she maxed her credit cards to only get an associate's degree. I hope she spends the rest of her money more wisely. Good luck to her.

Good for her, that is a great story . Now if only I could find something like that *shakes fist*.
