“I really didn’t know what was going on,” she said. “It was unreal. I could not sleep at all after that.”
Stewart won the top-level “Grand Fortune” jackpot in the Monopoly game on a $1 play on Oct. 4.
The digital instant game features a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time. The odds of that win were 1 in 50 million.
“Something just told me to play Monopoly,” she said.
Stewart has three grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and she plans to use her big win to help take care of them.
“This came right on time,” Stewart said. “It’s a great feeling.”
She claimed her prize Friday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $1,335,534.
In addition to helping her family, Stewart plans to do some repairs to her home.
“Now I can fix whatever needs to be fixed,” she said.
After her big win, the jackpot reset at $150,000 and has climbed over $597,000 as of Monday morning.
