While 800 thousands of civil servants complained about lack of salary on Friday, Walls, who served 13 for years in the US Air Force, won the top prize in the Ford Expedition Plus lottery $ 100 000, writes New York Post.

“I cried,” Walls said of the moment she learned of the win. “I couldn’t believe it.”

A resident of Ashburn, Va., Said that the 100 thousand dollars were especially timely because her husband, John Walls, who works at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was left without work. John is also an Air Force veteran, according to his Facebook.

Carrie Walls plans to use the winnings to bring his family to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. She bought a golden scratch ticket for December 4, two weeks before the breakdown, and won thousands of similar buyers among 554.

The odds of winning the top prize in the $100 Ford Expedition Plus are 000 in 1. The odds of winning any prize in the game are 1 in 387.

Her success contrasts sharply with the fate of a diabetic federal worker from Wisconsin who is forced to reduce insulin intake because she cannot afford to buy medicine during shatdaun.

An employee of the Department of the Interior Mallory Lorge, who suffers from 1 type diabetes, says that her blood sugar level increased last week, but she had to ignore this dangerous symptom.

"I can't afford to go to the emergency room," Lorge told NBC News. - I can't afford anything. I just went to bed and hoped I would wake up."

If the blood sugar level of Lorge becomes too high, it can go into diabetic ketoacidosis and go into a coma.

A woman thinks that she can sell out of her property, because she does not receive a salary during a record government shutdown.

The government shutdown became the longest in history—Monday entered its fourth week, or the 24th day of the shutdown.

On Friday, Congress passed a law guaranteeing the return of wages to employees out of work, which means that Walls’s husband will receive payment after the work is completed.

Trump countered in response to reports that he has no strategy for breaking the impasse.

“I have a plan,” he tweeted. “I promised safety and security for the American people.” Part of that promise was the Southern Border Wall.”
