OLYMPIA — A suburban Seattle couple who claimed a $90 million Powerball jackpot says they both will quit their jobs at Boeing and then travel, take care of their family and buy a new car.
Lisa N. and Everett Quam already have picked out the car — a Subaru Forester.
At a news conference Thursday, Lisa Quam said she took a break from cooking on Thanksgiving Day and ran to the grocery store with her husband to pick up a newspaper with the Black Friday ads and some pumpkin spice.
They bought two Powerball tickets while checking out.
“The cashier was really nice and asked if we wanted to purchase Powerball. I said, ‘Sure!’ I had never purchased a Powerball ticket before,” she said.
Lisa Quam checked the numbers Sunday night.
“I yelled to my family, ‘Get up here!’ They all thought I was mad and angry about something. My daughter asked, ‘Is this an emergency?’ and I said, ‘Yes!”‘
