Blackledge claimed its winnings on Friday, according to Powerball press release. She told lottery officials that she would pay her bills, make some improvements at home, and buy a new car.
"It feels great to win this prize, it's like a breath of fresh air. This will provide financial relief for me and my family," Blackledge said to lottery officials.
