A middle Tennessee woman won the jackpot and wasn't sure if she'd be able to claim the prize.

She's one out of nearly 2 million people who registered to win Michael Jackson memorial tickets.

JoAnna Franzke found out Sunday night she was a winner. Organizers sent the e-mail to her phone.

Earlier Monday, she wasn't going to spend the $800 to fly to Los Angeles for the memorial, but she's had a change of heart. Franzke is now on her way to LA to claim her ticket before Monday's 6 p.m. deadline.

The memorial service will begin Tuesday morning.
