Jacquelynn Onilla shared a $1-million Maxmillions prize with another ticket in the draw on June 8.

The 33-year-old administrative assistant and mother of one added that she is not a regular lottery player and only played because the jackpot was so high.
Onilla plans to buy a house, save for her wedding, help her mom and put the rest away for her son.
