Phillips says she usually only buys one "Lifetime Riches" ticket but decided to buy two instead. On the second, it revealed the lifetime prize. Phillips she says she thought to herself "That's not right!" so she took the ticket back to the retailer to have it validated. The prize was correct, and she has received her first check for $50,000, which after Federal and State taxes is $34,000. Phillips says she loves to travel and will use some of her winnings on future vacations.
