Sandra Vines thought she might win something.

She did: $500,000 in an instant scratch game by the Kansas and Iowa lotteries.

"I just felt it," the Wichita woman told Midwest Millions lottery officials Friday when contacted by phone after the drawing.

"I'm going to use this prize money to buy a house," the 45-year-old single mother of five children said.

Vines attends Baker University and starts a new job Monday at Via Christi Hope in Wichita.

She said she submitted four to five entries for the drawing.

I've been feeling something strange for weeks. I even bought a PB ticket with PP last night. I got this intense itch Sat and thought "this is the night." Then I discovered my place has fleas.
