 Lisa N. and Everett Quam already have picked out the car — a Subaru Forester. 
 
 At a news conference Thursday, Lisa Quam said she took a break from cooking on Thanksgiving Day and ran to the grocery store with her husband to pick up a newspaper with the Black Friday ads, along with some pumpkin spice. 
 
 They bought two Powerball tickets while checking out. 
 
 "The cashier was really nice and asked if we wanted to purchase Powerball. I said, 'Sure!' I had never purchased a Powerball ticket before," she said. 
 
 Lisa Quam checked the numbers Sunday night. 
 
 "I yelled to my family, 'Get up here!' They all thought I was mad and angry about something. My daughter asked, 'Is this an emergency?' and I said, 'Yes!'" 
 
 Lisa Quam called herself a "special occasions" lottery player, KING reported (http://kng5.tv/1vS0FEu ). 
 
 "I am not a lucky person," she said. "My husband says it's just dumb luck." 
 
 She has worked as a sourcing specialist at Boeing, managing contracts, for 25 years. Her husband of 32 years has been a Boeing mechanic for 16 years. 
 
 The couple from suburban Auburn was still deciding whether to take the money in 30 annual payments or a lump sum of $56.8 million, Washington state lottery spokeswoman Jennifer Carroll said. 
 
 The ticket for Saturday's drawing was the first winning Powerball ticket sold in Washington since the game began there in 2010, Carroll said. Powerball is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. ||||| SEATTLE — A Washington state woman on Thursday claimed a $90 million Powerball lottery jackpot after buying a ticket for the first time, and said she would quit her job at plane maker Boeing Co and buy a new Subaru. 
 
 Lisa Quam, who bought her ticket at a grocery story in Auburn, south of Seattle, had the six correct numbers in Saturday's multi-state drawing, the lottery said in a statement. 
 
 "Sent out an email to my co-workers and friends at work this morning and told them what a pleasure it was to work with them and to check the news today, and they'll come to an understanding of why I am writing this note," Quam said to laughter at a news conference in Olympia. 
 
 Quam and her husband bought two Powerball tickets on a Thanksgiving Day run to buy a newspaper and pumpkin spice, the lottery's statement said. She posted the tickets on the refrigerator and checked the numbers on Sunday. 
 
 "I yelled to my family, 'Get up here!' They all thought I was mad and angry about something," she said in a statement through the lottery. "My daughter asked, 'Is this an emergency?' and I said, 'Yes!'" 
 
 Quam has not decided whether to collect the prize as a lump sum, which would amount to roughly $56.8 million, or as an annuity of 30 payments. 
 
 The largest-ever Powerball jackpot was for $590.5 million and went to the holder of a single winning ticket last year. Quam is the first ever Powerball jackpot winner in Washington state. 
 
 "We have student loans just like every family, house repairs. Maybe we'll buy a house for one of the kids," she said when asked by reporters about her plans. 
 
 Quam said she expected to travel more and had already identified her next new car: a Subaru Forester.

 OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The Washington Lottery introduced Lisa and Everett Quam as winners of the $90 million Powerball lottery. 
 
 Lisa N. Quam, who purchased the ticket at a Haggen in Auburn, said she sent her manager an email to say she was retiring early and to watch the news Thursday to find out why. 
 
 According to Lisa, this was the first time she had purchased a Powerball ticket -- she bought two on Thanksgiving when she went to the store for pumpkin spice. She called herself a special occasions lottery player. 
 
 "I am not a lucky person. I think I won tickets to a concert or something on a radio station once," Lisa said. "And I won $100 once. My husband says it's just dumb luck." 
 
 Lisa's first priority: To make sure her family is taken care of. She has a son and daughter. 
 
 She has also picked out a new car already -- a Subaru Forrester. 
 
 The winner said she's kept the news pretty quiet. In fact, Lisa hasn't even told her siblings. 
 
 The couple worked at Boeing. Lisa was a "sourcing specialist" who managed contracts and worked there for 25 years. Everett was a mechanic for 16 years. 
 
 The couple met in 1978 when Everett said he was "cruising" around Renton in his Datsun pickup and have been married 32 years. 
 
 This is the first winning Powerball ticket sold in the state of Washington. Haggen Northwest Fresh will get a $50,000 cut for selling the ticket. 
 
 "To think one of our family won, we thought that's awesome," said Darryl Johnson, the store manager. 
 
 The store has been abuzz since the announcement, and Johnson expects more customers will seek the store for tickets. Customer Judy Jackson knows the Quams personally and said she's excited for them. 
 
 "It couldn't go to a better family," said Jackson. 
 
 The Washington Lottery does not require winners to identify themselves publicly.

– Lisa N. Quam had never purchased a Powerball ticket before Thanksgiving. But that day, when she went to the store for pumpkin spice, she picked up two tickets—calling herself a "special occasions lottery player," according to KING 5—and it turns out to have been a really good decision. The Washington state woman and husband Everett ended up winning $90 million. "I am not a lucky person," Quam insists. "I think I won tickets to a concert or something on a radio station once. And I won $100 once. My husband says it's just dumb luck." The couple has been married 32 years and has two kids; Quam says her first priority is to take care of her family. "We have student loans just like every family, house repairs. Maybe we'll buy a house for one of the kids," she said, according to NBC News. She also plans to buy a Subaru Forrester; both husband and wife will retire from their jobs at Boeing and then plan to travel, the AP reports.
