Nurse plans a special Christmas for her grandkids after big NC lottery win
Berra Sen had just finished a pediatric nursing shift early on Friday, Dec. 16 when she stopped at Walmart to do some Christmas shopping.
The 60-year-old mom and grandmother from Holly Springs decided to try her hand at a $20 Mega 7’s scratch-off ticket as she shopped, she told lottery officials, according to a Dec. 16 news release.
Sen scratched the ticket and that’s when she saw the good news. She won $100,000.
“When I scratched it, I couldn’t believe it because my birthday is on the 19th and it matched 19 on the ticket,” she said. “I’m still in shock.”
Now, Sen has big plans for Christmas with her prize money.
“It will be a nice Christmas for sure with my children and grandchildren,” Sen said. “They are my world.”
Holly Springs is about 20 miles southwest of Raleigh.
