A lucky lady from North Carolina managed to change her life entirely by spending only $10 on a "Jackpot 7's" Fast Play card, which rewarded her with an impressive $723,755 win on July 11.
When Cynthia Neely discovered she had won the full North Carolina Lottery Fast Play jackpot, she was filled with happiness and excitement.
"I think I cried all the way home," she shared with lottery officials.
Neely purchased her ticket at the Kangaroo Express on East Main Street in Rockwell, North Carolina, 9 miles northwest of Salisbury. She believed she'd lost at first when she saw the lottery went down to $20,000.
"When I got in the truck and saw my first ticket said the jackpot was back to $20,000, I thought, 'Oh darn, somebody already won the jackpot,' Neely shared.

She collected her prize Friday at North Carolina Lottery headquarters in Raleigh, taking home $515,678 after state and federal taxes, North Carolina lottery officials reported.
