An Austell Waffle House waitress, who won the half-million dollar top prize in the $500,000 Monopoly instant game, is considering opening a restaurant with her winnings.
Autumn Laney, 26 and a mother of two, purchased her winning ticket while making a stop at Quick Pick Food Store on Six Flags Drive.
Before leaving, she scratched the ticket in her car.
Overwhelmed after seeing “all of those zeroes,” she ran back into the store.
“I had to put on my glasses,” she said. “I feel like it’s still not true.”
In addition to the restaurant, Laney intends to buy a new home.
