FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) _ Two Fort Wayne women are richer after winning big on some Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs. 

Sheila Brown won $700,000 on the Extreme Green game on July 30th, while Tenecia Tate claimed a $77,777 prize on the “Green 7s” game August 3rd.

According to a news release from the Hoosier Lottery, both women were running errands when they stumbled into their recent good fortunes. Brown was at the grocery store, and Tate was on her way do some laundry, and both used smaller winnings won on prior tickets to buy their big winners. Brown will be moving to Florida but plans on spending some of her cash on the community, while Tate plans on buying a car and paying off a year's rent in advance.
