“I saw that and didn’t believe it at first,” Dunn said.

It wasn’t until she received an email from the lottery confirming the win that she knew it was real.

“It’s a pretty exciting feeling. I never thought I would win something like this, but this goes to show, it can happen,” she said.

They said she wagered just $20. She later received a check for $103,909.73, after taxes.

After depositing the check in the bank, officials said she made a stop at Meijer on Preston Highway where she purchased $2,000 in gift cards. She then walked around the store giving the gift cards to random strangers.

“A few were taken back, thinking I was wanting something in return,” Dunn told the lottery officials. “I got an expected gift and I believe in paying it forward and I wanted to pass it along.”
