The arrival of the woman in the expensive limousine caused interest and excitement in itself, before she made her claim about having won the lottery and that she intended to spend her millions on the other shoppers. That’s when things really got out of hand.

The news about the lottery winner buying everybody gifts soon got around and people began heading to the store in their hundreds.
