Woman wins $15 million on way to gym

Those who need extra motivation to hit the gym can draw inspiration from a Massachusetts woman.

Hilary Alma of East Sandwich won $15 million Tuesday on an instant lottery ticket.

She was on her way to the gym when she stopped at a local store to purchase an “Ultimate Millions” ticket. The ticket lived up to its name.

Alma chose the annuity option on her prize and received her first annual payment of $750,000, before taxes. Alma has 19 more payments to come.

Alma said she plans to put some of the money toward home repairs.
