Sandra Hayes was just a typical grandmother until she received a fateful call one morning. Ms. Hayes, a state social worker, was afraid to answer the phone that morning because she was running late and did not want to get scolded by her supervisor. Ms. Hayes did answer the phone and learned it was her supervisor as she predicted. However, Ms. Hayes did not get a scolding. Instead, her supervisor gave her the news of a lifetime. Ms. Hayes and her co-workers had entered a office lottery pool, and to their surprise, they won the powerball lottery. To hear her complete story of how she won the lottery and how her life has changed you can watch a video available here.
