INDIANAPOLIS – Cynthia Secret of Indianapolis didn't realize until yesterday that she had a $200,000 winning Powerball ticket in her purse for over a month.
"I'm in shock," said Secret. "Thank you, I don't know what to say!"
Secret has a job in administrative work and so far this morning had only told one co-worker.
"She was happy for me because I've been having a rough year," said Secret. "First I'm going to pay my credit card bills and then just keep my head above water."
Secret claimed her $200,000 today at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters. She purchased the winning ticket from Thornton's #140 at 10901 Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis.
