San Antonio Woman Wins $1 Million in Potato Chip Contest

San Antonio's Ellen Sarem is now a millionaire, thanks to potato chips.

News Radio 1200 WOAI reports Ellen's idea for crispy taco-flavored potato chips has won a contest designed to come up with the best new flavor.  The contest was called 'Do Us a Flavor,'

"It feels amazing and incredible and still in shock, and I am super super thankful, and grateful to everyone who voted," she told News Radio 1200 WOAI's Michael Board.

She talks about the time they announced she was the winner of the million bucks."I don't remember walking up to the stage, but I walked up there, and they gave me a big huge check with my name on it, and then they had some confetti guns that scared me...it was so crazy!"

Ellen won the contest thanks to support for her idea on Twitter.  

So what does she plan to do with the cash?  Take a long vacation--away from social media.
