Jessie was at the Northridge Walmart in Rockford when she bought a $10 Holiday scratch off ticket. After scratching the barcode and scanning it at the machine, next thing she knew, $500,000 popped up on the screen. She thought it was just telling her how much she COULD win, but that wasn't the case at all.

She asked the clerk to double-check it, but told her, "Don't tell anyone!" After confirming that she actually did win $500,000, Jessie says she wants to treat her family and help kids in the community have a magical Christmas. Wow, 'tis the season!
The Northridge Walmart will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket. What a way to kick off the holiday season-with a big win.
