Little Silver Woman Wins $2M In Lotto Ticket From Her Dad
The woman plans to share the money with her family and take them to the Bahamas.

Melissa Spagnola only buys lottery tickets as gifts for others. She only plays it when her family gets her tickets. It all paid off, as the New Jersey Lottery announced Tuesday that she won $2 million from a ticket her father bought her.
Spagnola's father bought the 100X The Bucks ticket from Wawa in Wrightstown. She scratched it off while with her family. Spagnola didn't know how to play the game, but she thought she might have won.
She showed it to her parents and asked, "Is this real?" It was. Spagnola and her family were in shock. Her sister was in tears.
