One Wrangler took home a lot of cash Tuesday night.

ODESSA, Texas — Ten-thousand dollars is a lot of cash especially if you're a college student.

On Tuesday night, one lucky Wrangler got to take home that cash at Odessa College (OC).

The college announced it now has 10,000 students enrolled, so in celebration they handed out a $10,000 prize.

This was all thanks to a partnership with The Sewell Family of Companies.

That's not all, the school awarded a $2,000 scholarship to the first runner-up.

"I'm very grateful that I got to be picked in this giveaway it means a lot to me and I get to spend this very wisely and it gives me a chance to be smart about what I spend my money on because I have a shopping problem," said Mia Alvarez, a nursing major at OC.

The college said this initiative reflects its commitment to supporting the student body and fostering a thriving educational environment.
