Both were elated when they realized it was a winner.

"Nobody slept," the grandmother of four said. "We were talking all night on the phone."

A mother of two adult children, Rich intends to share the winnings with her son-in-law.

"I'd love to pay off my homes and pay off my bills," she shared. "I'd love to take a cruise on a five-star cruise line."
