A New Jersey woman just entered the millionaire club.
The state's lottery program announced that Stacey Fiore, an MTA supervisor stationed on Staten Island, won the Powerball prize last weekend.
Fiore plays the Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries weekly, according to lottery officials.
She ran into her local Quick Stop last Saturday and pulled a quick pick, which turned out to the payday she had long been hoping for.

“I checked the numbers on Monday on the (Lottery’s phone app),” Fiore told the state lottery. “It said ‘Congratulations. You won a million dollars.’"
The winning numbers were 11, 24, 50, 56, and 66.
Fiore was missing the Powerball number, though, keeping her from the big jackpot.
