This is such good news for 26 year old Marie Holmes, a North Carolina resident. Unemployed Marie Holmes is one of the three winners of $564.1 million from the Powerball jackpot lottery, CNN reports.
Expressing her joy at winning the lottery, the single mom who used to work atMcDonald’s and Walmart, says it means that she will no longer need to worry about providing for her son and three daughters.
“I don’t have to worry about the word ‘struggle’ no more, and neither do they…I just want them to understand that money doesn’t change you, but it can help you, so they don’t have to worry about debt, none of that. They can go to college; they don’t have to worry about nothing. And I’m glad that I can do that for them.”
She revealed some of her plans about what she intends to use the money for. They include buying houses for her children and helping out her immediate family members. She also plans to “go away for a while.”
The three winners will split the winnings, and it can be taken in annualized payments, or as upfront cash option.
“I’m very, very grateful,” she said. “I’m ready to embrace the change,” Holmes said.
