Congrats to her... Hope she has a long, happy life without the potential problems many lottery winners seem to have. It took her less than two weeks to claim but I'd assume that during that nine or ten days she at least got some things set up and prepared. I'm kind of surprised the two winners of the 17 million Mega Millions haven't come forward yet and I'm assuming the winner (or winners if it was a lottery pool) that won the 195 million MM a week before must still be getting things worked out...

While taking her mother to a doctor's appointment, Delgado said she stopped for less expensive gas at Brothers Food Mart #115 on TerryParkway in Gretna. With the gas, she also purchased the Powerball quick-pick ticket that netted her the jackpot.

She is very lucky and $16 million dollars richer because she decided to buy the less expensive gas and a quick pick. I bet if she had decided to go to any old place to get gas, we wouldn't be reading about it. Congrats to her
