This was the largest check awarded as part of the company's summer Great Grocery Giveaway promotion.

"I am just so excited and thankful to Food Lion for this," Couch said during Thursday's press conference. "The only thing I have ever won was a CD player; this is by far much better."

Couch said she used a lucky penny she found to scratch off the matching items on the ticket.

The promotion, which ended earlier this month, included customers of all Delhaize America banners including Bottom Dollar Food, Hannaford, Sweetbay, and Food Lion family of banners - Food Lion, Bloom, Harveys and Reid's. The Great Grocery Giveaway rewarded customers who shopped at these supermarkets by providing a scratch-and-win game card for every qualifying transaction.
