"As soon as I won, I walked home alone in the Manhattan streets at 4 am to my hotel. My husband was waiting there, I told him I won, we broke out a bottle of champagne, and then he got back on a flight home an hour later. Then, for the next six months, I couldn't tell a single soul that I won. I'm at the bagel shop the next morning, and I'm thinking, my life has changed! I just wanted to announce it to everyone in the coffee shop."
