Lucky winner: Ms Holmes said that she scared her children, one of whom has cerebral palsy, when she began screaming that they 'didn't have to struggle anymore'.
'They don't have to worry about debt. They can go to college, all on me. And they don't have to worry about nothing,' she said, adding that the money is 'all for them'.
Currently unemployed, she said that she was heading to Raleigh, North Carolina, to speak with lawyers and financial advisers.
She will then claim the $188million prize for her ticket, which has not yet been verified by lottery authorities.
Ms Holmes, who only buys lottery tickets 'when she can', said she was thankful that she could bless her kids with something she didn't have.
The mother said that she bought her winning ticket after seeing how large the jackpot had gotten in the recent weeks.
