VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A woman in Virginia Beach won big on a scratcher from the Virginia Lottery when she originally stopped to buy an energy drink!
Stephanie Blanco had just finished cleaning out her car from a trip to the beach when she stopped at the 7-Eleven at 1040 Lynnhaven Parkway in Virginia Beach.
With the energy drink in hand, she also bought a 100X The Money ticket from the Virginia Lottery. When she scratched the ticket, she discovered she’d won the game’s $500,000 prize!
The Virginia Lottery said the "100X The Money game features prizes ranging from $30 to a $7 million top prize. The $500,000 prize that Ms. Blanco won is the second prize.
