SUFFIELD, CT — A Suffield woman who recently won $100,000 playing the CT Lottery said she was "flabbergasted" when her number came up during the Cash5 drawing.

"I saw the numbers and said, 'My God, those are MY numbers!" Sally Barnett told CT Lottery. "Then I flipped the play slip over to the back and saw I won $100,000. Who would ever think you could win this much money?"

Barnett said she plans to put new windows in her house with the prize money, and maybe give some of it as a gift to her children.
