Playboy revealed its 2016 Playmate of the Year on Wednesday at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, after four months of releasing non-nude images. Eugena Washington was introduced to the world as the 57^th Playmate of the Year and the third African-American to hold the title.

Along for being Playboy's Playmate of the Year, Eugena Washington got a whopping $100,000 along with a Fiat 124 Spider sports car and will be seen in Playboy magazine's June 2016 non-nude cover. She will be spotted half naked in the pool while lying down on a raft holding a drink and sporting a grin.

Fox News revealed that Eugena Wilson was shocked to learn that she became Playboy's Playmate of the Year. The 31-year-old model shared that someone from Playboy called her up for "an audition."
