- A North Carolina woman just got the gift of a lifetime.
- Karen Urtecho Sandrez says a friend gave her a $20 scratch-off ticket as a gift - which turned out to be a $2 million winner.
- Sandrez was shocked: "I could not believe it, honestly. You read it and you don't believe it." Her odds of winning were roughly 1 in 3.03 million.
- She decided to take her prize as a lump sum payment of $1.2 million - and still calls the experience "kind of surreal".
