She won her first 5.4 million dollars back in 1993 on a ticket which was bought in Bishop, and chose to take 270 thousand dollars every year for 19 years. In 2006, she went to visit her father in Bishop, and once again won the top prize, which was 2 million on the ‘Holiday Millionaire Game’ ticket which she paid 30 dollars for. That time she took a lump sum payment of 1.5 million dollars.

In 2008, the lucky lady won 3 million dollars after winning ‘Millions and Millions’ which was another scratch off ticket purchased at the ‘Times Market’. Ginther now lives in Los Vegas and does not want publicity.
