In a remarkable stroke of luck, a Chesapeake, Virginia resident amassed $180,000 by playing the Virginia Lottery’s Pick 5 game with six identical tickets.
Latoya Burke chose the same combination of numbers—5-5-5-5-0—for all her entries in the June 5 draw.
Each ticket hit the jackpot, fetching her $30,000 per ticket, culminating in a hefty $180,000 total payout.
Burke purchased her lucky tickets at the Tinee Giant store located on Jackson Avenue in Chesapeake. She claimed her winnings earlier this week, turning a regular purchase into an extraordinary gain.
