Licette Griffin told the clerk that she was going to win soon and, the very next day, she won a $1 million prize, the N.C. Education Lottery said in a news release.

“I told him, ‘One of these days it’s going to happen,’” Griffin said. “The next day this happened.” Griffin, a 59-year-old IT worker, bought a $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket at Gate City Express, then went home where she sat outside on her porch while she scratched the ticket.

“When I saw I won, my hands started shaking,” Griffin told lottery officials. “I called my husband and he immediately left work and came home.”

Griffin said they plan to use the money to take a trip to Puerto Rico to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary and their birthdays.

They also plan to invest some of the money and donate some to their church.
