Mega jackpot winner plans to keep her job as a loan officer.

Mansing, MI -- Loretta Brown says she was "so tired of being broke." She's not anymore.

A Detroit loan officer won the latest Mega Millions jackpot. Her number came in Tuesday, on a 75 million dollar ticket. She claimed her new fortune on Thursday.

Brown is opting for a lump sum, pretax payout of 44-point-six million. She isn't dreaming big, at least not yet.

Brown says the first thing she'll do is pay her overdue electric and phone bills. Brown intends to keep working, but says her husband plans to retire.
