The recent winner Cherise L answered several questions concerning this big win. Here's the full interview:

What was your initial reaction to your big win?
Said to myself 'Holy @#$%!' and just looked at the 3 WowPots. I haven't played WowPot since!

How do you plan on spending your winnings?
I'll try not to put it all back into the slots! I need to do some things to my house.

How long had you been playing on the day of your win?
Maybe 2 -3 hours.

What advice do you have for others?
I've needed to work for what I want, nothing has been handed to me. I think that is why I was successful and able to retire at age 52.

What is your dream holiday destination?
Any place that I can visit with family and friends. I have no desire to visit any place just to say I've been there.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I work part-time to keep myself from becoming a couch potato. I spend a lot of time on the computer doing my work scheduling.

What 3 things would you take with you on a deserted island?
I'd bring: my computer to keep in touch with the rest of the world; family pictures, to remind me of the people who made a difference in my life and made me what I am today; and my best friend to keep me company.

What is your ultimate goal in life?
To remain healthy and be the best person I can be in a world that seems to be really getting screwed up.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself?
I am 56, divorced, and have no children. I am the supervisor for demo work at Costco. The best part of the job is running into people I went to school with (including some teachers), and people that I worked with during the past 32+ years, and just other people I know. My lifestyle will not have a significant change because of winning this jackpot. It will probably let me continue to play more.
