Based on the description in various news media circles....she did a fair amount of volunteer work, and appears to have been fairly well known in her town (at least she claims that).
A word of warning for anyone who plays lotto. For most folks...you might play for forty years and never win more than $100 ever. If you come up and win a million or more...you need to quietly go and converse with a professional financial adviser before doing anything with the ticket.
Actually you need a lawyer if you win the lottery. And not just any lawyer. You need one that specializes in handling lottery winning accounts. An experienced lawyer in that area has already set up the foundations, trusts, tax plans, and other accounts. You need someone who has done it before. Why pay someone to learn and likely screw it up.
