There is a new millionaire in Essex County.
Lynn Mailhoit purchased a ticket as she and her husband were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
She won a free ticket and decided to add the Encore and won $1,000,000 on the Encore
The retired school teacher says it took a long time to collect the prize because she had knee replacement surgery the week after finding out.
Mailhoit says she'll put some of the money away for her grandkid's education and also plans to get a new car and do some home renovations.
