Scruggs claimed her prize on Monday at Georgia Lottery headquarters in Atlanta.
Scruggs says she wound up with a Mega Millions ticket and a Powerball ticket.
The Quik Pik jackpot ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Decatur.
The winning numbers were 16-41-42-50-59 and the Powerball was 5.
Scruggs selected the cash option and will receive $15,124,017 before taxes.
Scruggs, who's been looking for a job, now plans to buy a car, travel, and help her family and others.
