🎉 The Big Win

• A woman in her 60s from Gloucester, Virginia won the $1 million top prize from the $100,000 a Year scratch-off game.

• She purchased the winning ticket at Food Lion (7465 Hargett Blvd, Gloucester).

• Instead of the lump sum ($816,000 pre-tax), she chose to receive:

  • Annuity payments of $100,000 per year for 10 years, totaling $1 million.

💸 Why Her Choice Is Unique

• Most winners opt for the lump sum, but she selected the annuity so she could:

  • Split the annual $100,000 evenly with her two daughters.

• It’s a structured, long-term benefit for the family, rather than a one-time windfall.

🔁 Not Her First Rodeo

• She also won $25,000 from the Virginia Lottery decades ago, in her 20s.

• That earlier win allowed her to buy a house.

• This time, she plans to add more rooms to that same house.

• She also joked about getting an “affordable Corvette.”

• Her daughters plan to use their share of the money to purchase homes of their own.
