26-year-old Laney is considering opening a restaurant and buying a new home
(AP) -- A waitress at a Waffle House restaurant in Austell won the top prize in the $500,000 Monopoly instant game. Now 26-year-old Autumn Laney is considering her own restaurant with the half million dollars she won.
The mother of two bought her winning ticket at a Quick Pick Food Store. She scratched the ticket in her car and was overwhelmed at the sight of "all those zeros."
Laney said that, in addition to opening a restaurant, she plans to buy a new home.
