Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A Virginia woman scored a prize of $100,000 a year for 10 years from a scratch-off lottery ticket about four decades after collecting a $25,000 prize.
Gloucester resident Oletha Etheridge told Virginia Lottery officials she stopped at the Food Lion store on Hargett Boulevard in Gloucester and selected a $100,000 a Year ticket.
The ticket earned Etheridge a top prize of $100,000 a year for 10 years. She said the first person she told was her daughter.
"Are you sitting down? 'Cause I have something to tell you,'" she recalled saying.
Etheridge, who is in her 60s, previously visited lottery headquarters in her 20s to collect a $25,000 prize.
