The prayers of a Nadi market vender who is preparing for her daughter's wedding next week has been answered after she won $30,000 through a scratch and win ticket this morning.

Tattslotto Managing Director Graeme Brown confirms that the lady who has wished to remain anonymous, danced with joy after being informed that she had won the major prize in the Happy Meke series.

The winner said she worked nine years in the garment industry and when the factory closed down she started selling vegetables to help raise her family.

She said the money is a blessing as her 21 year old daughter is getting married next Saturday and will assist in fixing her settlement home and allow her son to finish school.
