A Cobb County woman spent $10 and won $700,000 playing the Georgia Lottery’s ‘Color Me Rich’ instant game.

Donna Williams of Marietta was named as winner Wednesday at One Stop convenience store on Concord Road in Smyrna.

She and her husband, Pete, stopped at the gas station after dinner on April 8 and bought four Georgia Lottery instant tickets, Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Kimberly Starks said.

Williams later found out one of those tickets was a big winner, and she claimed her prize April 11.

“I was in total disbelief,” she said.

Williams, one of three winners to claim the game’s top prize, said she intends to purchase a service dog for herself with the winnings.

There are four available $700,000 prizes, Starks said.

That means one person still has a chance to win. The odds of winning that $700,000? One in 1.2 million.
