FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) A Fort Wayne family won a $150,000 prize from the Hoosier Lottery. Petra Resendiz and her daughter, Andrea Escobedo, claimed the prize on Monday in Indianapolis.

When talking about the moment she found out she was a winner, Escobedo said of her mother: "I thought she was going to pass out!" she said. "We were really trying not to overreact.  We were afraid she was going to have a heart attack."

The winning ticket was bought at Phil's Northway Deli at 10330 Leo Road.
