“I thought that it was a scam. I was a little upset actually!” Watkins told the lottery. “I thought that it was not real, couldn’t be real. It’s still something that I really don’t believe, I’m still in some shock here.” (RELATED: Lottery Winners Donate Thousands To Local Supermarket Staff)

Watkins works as a nurse in the COVID unit at a long-term care facility, according to the North Carolina Education Lottery.

“Just seeing some of the things that I’ve had to see, I am very thankful,” she said. “I had been praying for something to help me with this situation. It really is a great thing. I’m very blessed.”

It’s unclear what Watkins plans to spend the lotterymoney on.

“I’m just gonna take it slow and easy and figure out what I’m gonna do,” said Watkins. “I would love a new home, but I’ve just got to take time and put it in the right place.”

What a well deserved reward for such an interesting year in the field of nursing. At least Watkins can have a little peace of mind with this new money coming in.
