ATLANTA – A first-time lottery player is a new millionaire. Shaadi Edwards, 27, won $1 million by matching the first five winning numbers in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing.

Edwards realized she won after seeing the draw results on Twitter.

“It felt surreal,” she said.

A resident of Atlanta, Edwards hopes to purchase a home, pay off her grandparents’ house, and do advocacy work.
