A North Carolina woman delivered her baby and won a $100,000 lottery just hours apart.

Brenda Gomez Hernandez, 28, purchased her $3 Quick Pick ticket from a convenience store in Concord, about 25 miles from Charlotte, according to the state lottery. She told officials that she used her son's birthdays as her numbers for the game.

Per the NC Education Lottery, she "matched numbers on four white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000 in the Nov. 9 drawing. The prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X Power Play multiplier hit."
