Black, who just bought a new home, was excited about her winnings. After state and federal taxes, she took home $72,016. Black plans to use a portion of her winnings to furnish her new home.
The Stacks of Cash game debuted this month and features three $2 million top prizes and six $100,000 prizes.
Currently, three of the top prizes and five of the $100,000 prizes remain unclaimed.
“I jumped for joy. Then I told my husband,” she said.
Black shared her excitement with him after scratching off the ticket at home.
Black recounted the advice she received from a friend: “Someone told me, ‘New home, new money.’”
This advice resonates as she celebrates her recent win.
As of now, three $2 million jackpot prizes and five $100,000 prizes are still available in the Stacks of Cash game, providing more opportunities for players.
