Prior to winning the lottery, Diana Valencia said "my luck hasn't been good lately." So when she walked into Allsup's store in Post, Texas to buy a scratch lotto ticket, she asked the clerk to choose one for her. The clerk first chose a scratch Bingo ticket. Diana didn't like the looks of it and asked him to choose another. He then handed her a Weekly Grand scratch ticket, and whadaya know? Diana won the jackpot, $1000/week for 20 years. So, does that make her lucky or is the store clerk lucky? Who knows?
Other than moving into a bigger apartment, Valencia is planning on putting others ahead of herself, especially her parents and grandchildren. Her parents are in their 80's and she wants to help them with their medication expenses. She also wants to make sure that her grandchildren's necessities are taken care of.
Diana is a training coordinator at a juvenile facility and plans to keep working. She says that she and her co-workers are a close-knit group.
We'd like to congratulate Valencia on her big win; it couldn't have happened to a better person.
