Loyalty and routine proved to be the recipe for success for Trina Cotton, a grandmother from Castalia, North Carolina.
Following her usual routine, she purchased a lottery ticket at her favorite convenience store in Rocky Mount.
Despite almost forgoing the purchase during a visit to a nearby nail salon, Trina listened to her instincts and drove the extra 20 minutes to her trusted "usual store."
As she started scratching the ticket at home, her initial disbelief turned into sheer joy as she realized she had won an astonishing $200,000 prize.
After tax withholdings, Trina collected her well-deserved winnings of $142,501 at the lottery headquarters.
This heartwarming story showcases the power of loyalty and the delightful surprises that can unfold along the way.
