The 37-year-old woman from Lauderhill opted to take a one-time lump-sum payment of $49,566,294.
As reported the Sun Sentinel, Barzey told lottery officials that she was shocked when she checked the lottery's website and saw that the numbers on her ticket matched the number on the screen.
Talking about what she will now do with her new wealth, Barzey says, "I don't plan on changing much about my lifestyle, but I do plan on helping my family with my winnings."
Barzey and her family aren’t the ones that have lucked out with this win.
