Amanda Houston of Johnson City, wins big on powerball.

Saturday, June the 24th, Amanda Houston put her very last dollar and gave her last hope to a ticket she purchased at 527 Princeton Road, Johnson City, Tn. Little did Amanda know that one ticket would forever change her life. Amanda says the first thing she plans to do is take her husband, Josh and daughter, Audrey on a month long vacation. When she returns back to the tricities Amanda plans to buy all of the animals out of the animal shelter and plans to have steak dinners every night. Amanda said she sadly has no one to really share this joy with since she grew up in Foster care and has never knew any of her family. Amanda also stated that she doesn’t have any friends or in laws either so she plans to donate to charities.
