Bradshaw stated that she intends to purchase a home with her money.

About what she intended to do with her prize money, Bradshaw stated, “I would love to have my own home that is mine and that I feel safe in.” “I can furnish my own home to make it appear nice, feel secure, and be tidy. Just a small cottage or something with one or two beds, nothing grandiose.”

With the Powerball game’s jackpot expected to surpass $810 million, the frenzy around it is expected to continue on Monday night.
