A Lawrenceville mother-to-be is getting a bundle of cash to go with the bundle of joy she’s expecting.

Yesenia Frias, 25, won the $250,000 top prize playing the new instant game Atlanta Falcons Cash Blowout.

“I’m expecting, and my due date is in October. It’s a girl,” Frias said.

She and her husband, Alejandro, have three children.

Frias bought her scratch-off ticket at Amoco Food Shop, 5694 Buford Highway, Norcross. She scratched it off in the store.

“I got excited,” she said. “My husband felt happy, and he was surprised.”

With her winnings, Frias said she plans to buy a new home.
