A Virginia woman was unwinding after a long day at work by playing lottery games on her phone when her life changed forever.
Jenny Gonzales Castillo of Newport News won $1.9 million in the online game Scrooge's progressive jackpot.
"I told my daughter, 'Pinch me! I want to know if I'm dreaming or awake!'" Castillo told lottery officials.
She claimed her prize on Dec. 1 and said she plans to use some of the winnings for her daughter's college education, Virginia Lottery officials said on Thursday.

The current jackpot amount is $486,593 after Castillio won her $1.9 million.
