RICHMOND, Va. (WKRC) – A Virginia woman experienced the surprise of a lifetime while cleaning her home. Alfreda Hawkins stumbled upon a box of lottery scratch-off tickets in her closet and decided to scratch them. To her astonishment, one ticket was a winner in the $100,000 Extreme Cash game.
"I almost passed out!" Hawkins exclaimed to lottery officials. The ticket was the third and final grand prize in the game, which is now being closed. The odds of winning the top prize were 1 in 1,101,600.
Despite her newfound fortune, Hawkins said she has no immediate plans for the money.
