(UPI) A Minnesota woman said a surprise birthday party brought a second surprise when one of her gifts turned out to be a $100,000 winning lottery ticket.
Dawn Meredith said 50 of her closest friends and family threw her a surprise party Sept. 30 for her 60th birthday, and among her gifts were a pair of Minnesota Vikings scratch-off lottery tickets.
Meredith later discovered one of the tickets won the $100,000 top prize.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said. I had to go get another pair of glasses!
Meredith collected her winnings Monday at Minnesota Lottery headquarters.
She said the winning ticket was "hands down -- the best birthday gift ever!"
