A Richmond mother has an extensive plan for her family to celebrate her $5 million win.

Yvonne Sinclair was shocked when she learned she matched all six numbers from the Lotto 6/49 Classic Jackpot draw on Dec. 3, 2022.

“I was at home and checked the website and thought ‘no, it can’t be,’” said Sinclair.

“My son also scanned the ticket (on the Lotto! App) with his phone. I (couldn’t) believe it!”

And it’s not every day you suddenly become a multi-millionaire.

When asked how she felt about her win, Sinclair described the moment as “overwhelming and exciting.”

“If I won, I wanted to buy a house, that was my main dream and now I am looking for one!”

Sinclair said she plans to buy a house for her family, go on a tropical vacation and help her children with their education tuition.

The winning ticket was purchased in the Town Pantry at the Chevron gas station at Bridgeport and No. 5 roads in Richmond.
