DANVILLE, Va. – Hazel Walker was riding in the car and playing Virginia Lottery games on her phone as her son drove.
While playing, she was shocked when she won a $240,040 jackpot prize in a game called Marvelous Money: Vegas Nights, according to the Virginia Lottery.
“I just stayed quiet for a while,” Walker told the Va. Lottery. “When we stopped, I showed it to my son and said, ‘Is this real?’”
Walker is a teacher and resides in Virginia Beach. She said she doesn’t know how she’s going to spend the money yet.
“I just need to let it sink in,” she said.
