There may be snow and icy temperatures on the horizon, but a big lottery win is sure to warm you up!
It's been great fun getting to meet some of our Million Dollar Holiday winners today, including Heidi Olsen of Allison and Renee Stanbrough of Nashua. Heidi won the $500,000 top prize in Wednesday's drawing, while Renee took home a $100,000 prize in the same promotion.
Heidi found out she was a winner when she checked her email last night. She quickly called for her husband, Gabe, who thought from her alarmed tone of voice that something bad happened.
"It was really crazy, exciting and surreal," she said. "It's probably one of the best feelings ever, I would say."
As the name suggests, the Million Dollar Holiday awarded a total of $1 million in prizes, including a $500,000 top prize, two prizes of $100,000 and a $50,000 prize. You can see the full winners' list here.
The promotion was born after a $1 million prize last year went unclaimed. That unclaimed prize money was then awarded in the lottery's holiday promotion that ended this week.
