A Pennsylvania grandma who promised her husband she would one day win the lottery struck a jackpot just weeks before his death.
"I kept telling him, ‘One of these days I’m going to hit the million!,'" said Karen CoffmanDanielle Jennings is a Writer/Reporter at PEOPLE, covering stories in Human Interest and Sports. She joins PEOPLE with over 15 years of experience as a journalist with an expertise in areas including Pop Culture, Politics, Hard News, Fashion, Beauty and Crime.
But the win is "bittersweet,” according to Coffman, who told officials that her husband had a brain tumor and died two weeks after she won. Following Coffman’s win, Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne presented her with a commemorative check, saying, “We’re thrilled to present Karen with a commemorative check for $1 million as we celebrate her winning this Scratch-Off prize."
