Posted: Updated:
AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) -

An Augusta nurse has gotten a big dose of winning. Patricia Holloman, 50, won $2 million playing the Georgia Lottery game Millionaire Jingle Jumbo Bucks.

Holloman scratched the ticket at home Tuesday and claimed her prize later that day. "I thought I was reading it wrong," she said. "I kept looking at it. That's a lot of zeroes."

Married with two grown children and six grandchildren, Holloman hopes to cut back on her long work weeks. "I work a lot of hours," she emphasized. "Or, I should say, I worked a lot of hours."

Holloman also hopes to get "a reliable car with an air conditioner."

PJ Food Store, located at 3184 Skinner Mill Road in Augusta, sold the lucky ticket.

Millionaire Jingle Jumbo Bucks is an instant game with prizes up to $3 million.
