"It was special because not only was it my sister’s birthday, but it was also Mother’s Day weekend. I went to the store to get stuff for Mother’s Day and decided to play," Lopez said. "At first, I wasn’t sure I won. I had to get my glasses. When I looked at it again, I started tripping out. It was the best Mother’s Day!"
