Teen wins $4 million lottery jackpot on her birthday.




Deisi Ocampo was given two Illinois $100 Million Money Mania instant tickets by her father on her 19th birthday as present and one of them turned out to be worth $4 million. At first she didn’t put much thought into her dad’s birthday present, but on the day after her birthday she was on her way to work when she remembered she had not scratched her two instant tickets. The first ticket didn’t win her any prizes, but when she started scratching off the second ticket she saw that she had just become an instant-millionaire 

"I started sweating,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it was possible. I worked the whole day without telling anyone!”        

After work, she hurried home to tell her family the good news. Ocampo who is of Mexican descent , was born and raised in Chicago and lives with her parents and sister. She later told the Illinois Lottery staff that she plans to use part of the money to buy a new home for her family and also pay for her college education. She currently works in a clothing store while attending college to become a nurse.
