We’re told Nancy Webb doesn’t usually play to win. After she bought her ticket, officials said she sat in the Kroger parking lot and scratched it – then realized she won The 100X the Money’s second top-prize.

The Virginia Lottery says prizes for the game range from $30 to $5 million, and there are three second-top-prizes of $300,000. Now that Webb has won, two second-top-prizes remain.

Officials say the chances of winning the top prize in the game are 1 in 2,652,000.
