The backstory:

Early Sunday morning, Fuong H. from Garland was announced as the winner of Choctaw's "3 Months. 3 Millionaires." drawing.

Just last week, Fuong retired from the jewelry company she'd been working at for 33 years.

She said she plans to spend the money on her three children and six grandchildren and investing.

Fuong said she visits Choctaw at least once a week.

In addition to the million dollars, Choctaw will also donate $10,000 to a nonprofit in the Garland area. It is Choctaw's third year of its "3 Months. 3 Millionaires" promotion.

What they're saying:

"I’m still excited. I never thought I would win tonight," Fuong said. "My name was called; I stood up from my table and said, ‘That’s my name!’"

What's next:

Choctaw is holding its next $1 million prize drawing on July 5 at 1 a.m.
