ATLANTA – An Austell woman has won a sweet Georgia Lottery prize. Autumn Laney, who works as a Waffle House waitress, played the instant game $500,000 Monopoly and won a half-million dollar top prize.

The 26-year-old purchased her winning ticket at Quick Pick Food Store, 340 Six Flags Drive in Austell, and scratched it in her car.

"I had to put on my glasses, and I cried when I saw all of those zeros," she said.

The mother of two ran back into the store.

"I was overwhelmed," she recalled. "I feel like it's still not true."

Opening a restaurant with her prize is one option Laney is considering, she said. She also intends to buy a new home.
