VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A Virginia Beach woman won a six-figure prize playing Powerball, and she’s crediting her big win to her cousin!
Tina Johnson told the Virginia Lottery that her cousin convinced her to buy a ticket for the July 19 Powerball drawing. She ended up winning $100,000, according to the lottery.
“If it wasn’t for my cousin, I wouldn’t have paid an extra dollar for the Power Play,” said Johnson. “But she told me to do it, so now I always need to listen to her.”

The lottery says her ticket matched four winning numbers plus the Powerball number, so the normal prize of $50,000 was doubled to $100,000.
Johnson told the lottery she’s using her winnings to help out her cousin.
