When FIDM Apparel Manufacturing and Management Grad Vani Kumar hit the jackpot--literally--she used the $286,665 to bring the detailed business plan she'd just created to life. Amazingly, her winnings came within $200 of what she needed to start The Suit Closet, a downtown Los Angeles shop filled with--you guessed it--suits. LA Weekly has a great profile on the lucky lady here. --Kim
