Local Woman Hits $35 Million Jackpot

Katie Carnahan, a Johnson City woman, recently hit the $35 million dollar jackpot. The winning ticket was bought at the Scotchman in Gray, TN.
Mrs. Carnahan said the first thing she will do with the money is pay off her parents mortgage and get them out of debt. After that, she is going to buy her dream home and set up college trust funds for each of her children. As for the rest of the money, Mrs. Carnahan said she and her husband, Michael, will be taking a very long and much needed vacation. Mrs. Carnahan said she doesn’t usually play the lottery but felt that “something was telling her to get one”. When she heard the winning numbers and realized her ticket matched those exact numbers, Mrs. Carnahan said she couldn’t believe it and that she’s still in shock.
