A college student in Virginia made a lucky lottery purchase while stopping at a convenience store earlier this month.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - , Perla Gomez turned a $30 scratch-off ticket at a Virginia Beach-area 7-Eleven into a $1 million prize.
Lottery officials said Gomez hit the jackpot while playing a Virginia Lottery’s Commonwealth scratcher game. Officials said the college student was with her uncle and friend when she scratched the winning ticket. Gomez had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $640,205 before taxes. She chose the cash option, according to the lottery.
Gomez reportedly cashed the game’s final top prize. Lottery officials said they have since closed the game per their policy to end scratcher games after the last top prize has been claimed.Copyright 2022 Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
