temperatures. >> all right. we will take that. veronica, thank you. wow. what were the odds? >> yeah. sometimes better lucky than good. nothing like starting over with the number one pick in the draft. that's exactly what the wizards will be doing this year. 10% chance of landing the top overall pick, the wizards hit the lotto jackpot last night. they could be exactly the jump start this franchise needs after become-to-back seasons of misery. the wizards took a whole slew of people to the lottery in new jersey last night. but the one that mattered most was irene pollin who represented the team on stage. the pollin familiar sly in the process of handing overing the reins to the new owner, ted leonsis. what bet are way to do it than winning the lottery. lindsay czarniak sat down with mrs. pollin this afternoon and got her take on a night to remember. >> i couldn't believe it. i mean -- as i was listening card after card falling city after city, going down. no, no, no. no. no. even when we were down to like two, i mean, no. i mean, of course it was ridiculous. of course. you about -- yeah. because i think so many years, you know, the disappointments and, you know, hoping and it was going to happen, and then when it finally happened, it really was, you know, wonderful. but still hadn't sunk in this happened. i'm taking pictures and i'm mechanically doing everything, right. on the way home on the plane, looking out the window, my god, i can't believe this. >> reporter: during the lottery, you felt his presence. i know that you wore the 1978 championship ring that belonged to him. flip saunders said you wore yellow because it was abe's favorite color. how important was it for to you keep his legacy alive as it still is? >> i think, number one, important -- the most important thing because i -- throughout the whole experience, i know what he felt about owning the team. and the excitement he always got out of every game and he never got tired of it. and i know what the ring men to him. that's why i wore the ring. >> reporter: you almost didn't wear the ring. >> yeah. the morning, wait a minute, i think i will put this ring on. and -- i mean, he wore this every day of his life. if it was misplaced, we were crawling around on floor looking for it. i mean, he really -- it meant so much to him. this whole experience in his lifetime. so i think for me, to sort of be a part of that, i felt it. felt very strongly. this is really about him and, of course, us. my enjoying his enjoyment of that. we grew up together. you know. so it was -- yeah. a lot about him. >> reporter: you were there as the wizards -- win the first dracht pick important first time since 2001. will you be around moving forward to be there to watch the rebirth of this team and how active might you be in that process? >> i don't know. if ted needs my advice -- i will be glad to give it to him. i don't know. i -- you know, i feel -- you know, very strong when i go in like yesterday. seeing all these guys. feeling at home. i felt so completely at home. yeah. probably the rest of my life, you know, i will be very much attached to the nba and basketball, wizards, verizon center. that's very much a part of me. >> going to be a great lasting memory for the pollin family and a nice way to hand over to the new team owner, ted leonsis. >> that's some ring she is wear. >> pretty nice. >> we need it next season. >> another one. next season may be a little early but maybe down the road. >> thanks. still to come up next, a local woman honored for her fight against modern
