¡°I saw an ad on Facebook that the Mega Millions jackpot was getting pretty high, so I got on my account and bought a ticket,¡± said Spears. ¡°A few days later, I was looking for a missing email from someone, so I checked the spam folder in my email account.

¡°That¡¯s when I saw an email from the Lottery saying I had won a prize. I couldn¡¯t believe what I was reading, so I logged in to my Lottery account to confirm the message in the email. It¡¯s all still so shocking to me that I really won $3 million!¡±
